Product identity

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Xeon E5-2643 v3 processors running at 3.4 GHz. Ninety-six gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a pair of 500 GB 7.2K SATA drives come installed, while the B140i controller provides software RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 for SATA volumes. Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies give redundancy for continuous operation. It suits organisations that need a dense, dual-socket platform for virtualisation, database or general compute workloads.

Pre-install checks

Confirm the rack can accept a 2U unit and that the eight 2.5-inch SFF bays match your drive-count plan. The B140i controller supports SATA only; SAS or NVMe drives require a different controller card. Memory is at the factory maximum of 96 GB across 24 DIMM slots, so further expansion means replacing modules. No operating system is included, so prepare installation media and licensing before deployment.

Thermals, noise and power

Redundant 500 W hot-swap supplies share the load, keeping each unit below peak stress during normal use. The 2U chassis uses front-to-rear airflow tuned for data-centre aisles; fan speed ramps with inlet temperature and CPU utilisation. Acoustic output is typical for high-density rack gear and not suited to office desks. Power draw scales with the two six-core CPUs, memory population and drive activity.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with drive trays and caddies for the two 500 GB SATA drives, or must they be purchased separately?

The two 500 GB 7.2K 2.5-inch enterprise SATA drives are supplied with their trays; no extra caddies are needed for those bays.

Should I select the 96 GB DDR4 configuration or plan to add more modules to reach the 3 TB maximum?

All 24 DIMM slots are already populated to reach the installed 96 GB; further expansion requires replacing existing modules with higher-capacity DDR4 registered ECC sticks.

What does the B140i software RAID controller actually support for the installed 500 GB SATA drives?

The B140i provides RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 across the two SATA drives; it does not support SAS or NVMe devices.
