ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads that need dense compute and storage in a standard cabinet. It ships with a single Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor running at 3.4 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 memory, leaving one CPU socket free for future expansion.

Upgrade from single-socket or smaller bays

This chassis replaces older 2U units limited to eight drive bays or a single processor by offering 16 SFF bays and support for a second Xeon up to 36 total cores. The jump is worth it when workloads outgrow current memory capacity or when RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 on the P440 controller with 4 GB FBWC becomes a bottleneck.

Install rails, populate drives, add second CPU

Installation follows standard rack-mount procedure: fit the rails, secure the 2U chassis, connect redundant 500 W supplies, then populate up to 24 DIMM slots and 16 drive trays with screws provided. The usual issues are mixing DIMM speeds across the 12 slots per processor and forgetting to enable the second CPU in BIOS before adding memory.

Questions about this item

What rack height does the 2U DL380 Gen9 need?

The server fits a standard 2U rack space and uses redundant hot-swap power supplies.

What is the common mistake when installing the P440 controller?

The P440 needs the 4GB FBWC module seated correctly; skipping this disables RAID 5/6/50/60.

Which DDR4 modules can expand the 32GB beyond the 24 slots?

Use ECC Registered DDR4 up to 2400MT/s in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB or 64GB capacities.
