HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server 16 SFF Xeon E5-2609 v3 1.9 GHz 64 GB DDR4 P440 4 GB FBWC

2U rack server with 16 SFF bays

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 fits into a standard 2U rack space and provides sixteen 2.5-inch drive bays. A single Xeon E5-2609 v3 running at 1.9 GHz with six cores handles the compute load. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed across the 24 DIMM slots. The Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB flash-backed write cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Redundant power and thermal design

Two 500 W hot-swap power supplies deliver full redundancy for continuous operation. The 2U chassis uses system-controlled fans that adjust speed based on inlet temperature and component load. Power draw scales with the single processor and memory configuration installed. Acoustic output remains within typical data-centre limits for a rackmount server of this class.

Maximum memory capacity of 64 GB

The processor and chipset combination in this configuration limits total system memory to 64 GB across the 24 slots. Buyers who need more than 64 GB of RAM cannot expand beyond this ceiling with the current CPU. A second processor would be required to reach the platform's higher memory limits. Systems needing larger memory footprints should evaluate a dual-processor configuration.
