HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2643v3 3.4 GHz 32 GB DDR4 12 LFF H240ar

Dual Xeon E5-2643v3 2U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2643v3 processors running at 3.4 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory and a Smart HBA H240ar controller supporting twelve large-form-factor drive bays. The platform targets workloads that need high single-thread frequency and up to 36 total cores in a dense chassis.

Tool-less rails and hot-swap power simplify

The server slides into a standard rack on tool-less rails and uses two hot-swap 500 W redundant power supplies that can be swapped without downtime. Memory installation follows a 24-slot balanced layout across both CPUs; mixing unbalanced DIMM counts per processor will throttle bandwidth. Drive trays accept 3.5-inch SAS or SATA disks and lock with thumbscrews.

Twelve LFF bays and 32 GB baseline

The twelve front bays provide room for high-capacity 3.5-inch drives while the H240ar handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Installed memory sits at 32 GB across 24 slots, leaving headroom to scale toward the 3 TB architectural maximum using registered ECC DDR4 up to 2400 MT/s. The Matrox G200eH2 with 16 MB video memory covers basic console output only.
