HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2643v3 3.4 GHz 16GB DDR4 2× 1TB SAS H240ar

2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon E5-2643v3

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2643v3 processors running at 3.4 GHz. It includes 16GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots and ships with two 1TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by an H240ar controller. This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation hosts, database nodes or general-purpose compute clusters in standard racks.

SAS Interface Limits with H240ar Controller

The Smart HBA H240ar provides 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA connectivity supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The 12 large-form-factor bays accept 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, while the controller’s external ports are not populated on this unit. Throughput is bounded by the 6Gbps link speed of the installed 7.2K drives and the PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface of the H240ar.

Memory and Power Checks Before Ordering

Verify that your rack provides 2U of vertical space and sufficient depth for the chassis, plus redundant 500W hot-swap power supplies requiring compatible PDU outlets. The system arrives with 16GB installed across 24 slots, expandable using DDR4 ECC registered modules up to 64GB each; actual memory speed depends on the fitted Xeon v3 processors. No operating system is included, so licensing and installation media must be arranged separately.
