HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2630 v3 2.4 GHz 128 GB DDR4 H240ar 12 LFF

Dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 2.4 GHz server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server fitted with two eight-core Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors running at 2.4 GHz. It provides 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. The Smart HBA H240ar controller manages twelve 3.5-inch drive bays with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This system targets organisations that need dense compute and internal storage capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Redundant 500 W supplies and hot-swap power

Dual 500 W redundant hot-swap power supplies keep the server running if one unit fails. The 2U chassis uses system fans that adjust speed based on inlet temperature and component load. Under typical workloads the power draw stays within the capacity of a single supply, allowing the second to remain on standby. Acoustic output is managed by the integrated thermal control logic, which balances airflow against noise in a data-centre environment.

Sustained load across 32 threads and 12 bays

With both processors active the server presents 32 logical threads for parallel workloads such as virtualisation or database processing. Memory bandwidth scales with the two populated CPU sockets, and the H240ar controller maintains consistent throughput across all twelve SAS or SATA drives during extended I/O. The thermal design sustains full processor turbo states without throttling, provided the rack inlet temperature remains within specification.
