HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server 2× E5-2643 v3 3.4GHz 8GB DDR4 2× 600GB SAS P440 4GB FBWC

2U rack server with dual E5-2643 v3

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 processors running at 3.4 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes two 600 GB 15K 2.5-inch SAS drives. A Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB flash-backed write cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy.

Suits compute-heavy workloads needing fast SAS

This configuration suits workloads that benefit from high single-thread frequency and low-latency 15K SAS storage, such as database instances or virtualization hosts with modest memory footprints. The 8 GB installed RAM and two-drive limit restrict consolidation density and total capacity. Buyers who need large memory tiers, all-flash arrays or GPU acceleration should evaluate other platforms.

Dual 3.4 GHz six-core CPUs set the performance

The pair of E5-2643 v3 processors delivers 12 physical cores and 24 threads at a base clock of 3.4 GHz, defining the server's compute envelope. Memory speed scales with processor capability up to 2400 MT/s. This CPU choice fixes the maximum core count and frequency for the chassis.
