Dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 server for virtualisation

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz, providing 16 physical cores and 32 threads. It ships with 96 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across 24 DIMM slots, reaching the maximum capacity supported by this CPU generation. Two 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives are included in the eight SFF drive bays, managed by the onboard B140i software RAID controller.

B140i controller limits storage to SATA RAID

The B140i controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 but only for SATA drives; it cannot address SAS or NVME devices. Expanding beyond the eight included bays requires optional backplanes that occupy bay 2 and bay 3, which also house the universal media bay and NVME drive options. Memory speed is capped at 2400 MT/s and depends on the installed processor capability, so adding modules will not exceed this limit.

Verify rack depth and power redundancy needs

This 2U chassis requires a rack with sufficient depth for cable management and airflow; the dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy only when both are connected to separate circuits. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics adapter offers basic console output but no hardware acceleration for remote management. No operating system is included, so licences and installation media must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8-bay SFF configuration or add the extra 8 SFF bays for 16 or 24 drives?

The base unit provides 8 SFF bays populated with 2× 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives. You can expand to 16 or 24 SFF bays by adding the optional bay kits for bays 2 and 3, giving room for more SATA or SAS drives.

What does the 2.4 GHz clock on the dual E5-2630v3 CPUs deliver in this server?

Each processor has 8 cores and supports hyper-threading, yielding 32 logical threads total at 2.4 GHz. Actual throughput depends on the workload and the DDR4 memory speed the CPUs can drive.

How does the B140i software RAID limit the SATA drives I can use?

The B140i controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 on SATA drives only. It cannot manage SAS or NVME devices, so any added drives must be SATA to work with the onboard RAID.
