HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server 2× E5-2609 v3 1.9 GHz 16 GB DDR4 2× 146 GB SAS H240ar

2U rack server for dual-socket workloads

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 fits a 2U rack space and ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 processors running at 1.9 GHz. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory are installed across the 24 DIMM slots. Two 146 GB 15K SAS drives connect to a Smart HBA H240ar controller with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support. Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy.

The chassis offers eight 2.5-inch SFF bays with optional NVMe or additional SFF backplanes, so organisations that plan to grow storage or add accelerators can use the available slots. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics chip is limited to basic console output. Buyers who need integrated high-performance graphics or a single-socket platform should look elsewhere.

The two six-core processors set the baseline compute capacity for this configuration. Memory speed will follow the processor capability up to 2400 MT/s across the registered DIMM population. This specification determines whether the server matches the thread count and memory bandwidth your workload requires.
