HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2609v3 1.9 GHz 8 GB DDR4 2× 1 TB SATA B140i

Dual six-core Xeon for rack workloads

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 processors, each running six cores at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and two 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives served by a B140i software RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. The platform targets small-to-midrange virtualization, file serving and line-of-business applications that need redundant power and hot-swap drive bays in a compact form factor.

Steady throughput with dual CPU scaling

Under sustained load both Xeon E5-2609v3 CPUs remain at their base 1.9 GHz frequency, delivering predictable multi-threaded performance for database or hypervisor tasks without relying on short turbo bursts. The B140i controller limits array speed to the SATA interface, so write-heavy workloads scale with the 6 Gbps link rather than a hardware cache. Memory bandwidth is determined by the installed DDR4 modules and the processor memory controller, providing consistent throughput for the configured 8 GB capacity.

Redundant 500 W supplies and hot-swap cooling

Two 500 W hot-swap power supplies share the load and maintain operation if one unit fails, while the 2U chassis uses redundant fans to cool the dual-socket board and eight drive bays. Acoustic output is typical for a rack-mounted server and rises with inlet temperature and workload intensity. Power draw varies with CPU utilisation, memory population and drive activity, staying within the dual 500 W budget for the shipped configuration.
