2U rack server for virtualised workloads

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rackmount server built for data-centre deployment. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors provide 16 physical cores and 32 threads for multi-tenant applications. Redundant hot-swap 500 W power supplies and an 8-bay small-form-factor chassis support continuous operation.

Suits consolidation and database tiers.

This configuration fits organisations consolidating virtual machines or running memory-hungry databases with local SAS storage. The integrated Matrox G200eH2 graphics and lack of PCIe accelerator support make it unsuitable for workloads that require GPU acceleration or high-performance visualisation.

24 DDR4 DIMM slots define expansion ceiling

Twenty-four registered DDR4 slots, twelve per processor, set the practical memory ceiling for this platform. Buyers planning large in-memory datasets must budget for additional DIMMs to move beyond the 8 GB factory configuration.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the H240ar controller support, and how does that cap drive throughput?

The Smart HBA H240ar provides 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA connectivity; installed 146GB drives run at 6Gbps, so the controller does not limit their maximum throughput.

What physical space and bay layout does the 2U chassis require for drives and media?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and includes 8 SFF 2.5-inch bays; a universal media bay can be added to bay 3 and NVMe or extra SFF bays to bay 2.

How are the redundant power supplies installed, and what step is often missed?

Two 500W hot-swap power supplies slide into the rear bays; the step often missed is connecting both units to separate PDUs or circuits for true redundancy.
