Server identity

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processors run at 3.4 GHz with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC memory installed across 24 DIMM slots. Storage is handled by an HP Smart HBA H240ar controller driving two 146 GB 15 K SAS drives in eight SFF bays, with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 supported. Two redundant 500 W power supplies and a Matrox G200eH2 GPU complete the configuration.

Fit and alternatives

This server suits teams that need dense compute in a standard 2U form factor with hardware RAID and hot-swap SAS storage. Buyers who require NVMe support, more than eight drive bays, or a GPU beyond basic management graphics should look at other platforms. The installed memory reaches the processor-limited maximum of 32 GB, so workloads needing larger capacity per socket will need a different CPU choice.

Deciding specification

The storage controller is an HP Smart HBA H240ar providing 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA RAID without a backed cache module. This makes the H240ar the single component that determines whether the server matches your storage performance and data-protection requirements.

Questions about this item

What drives and accessories are included, and what must be purchased separately?

The server ships with two 146GB 15K 2.5-inch SAS drives in trays, a Smart HBA H240ar controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, dual 500W redundant power supplies, and a Matrox G200eH2 GPU. Additional drives, media bay, NVMe options or extra drive cages are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this configuration?

The system arrives with 32GB of DDR4 ECC Registered memory installed. The board provides 24 DIMM slots, 12 per processor, supporting modules of 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64GB up to 2400MT/s; maximum capacity is 3TB, though the processor limits actual speed.

What does the 3.4GHz clock speed mean for real workloads?

Each of the two E5-2643 v3 CPUs has six cores running at 3.4GHz, giving 12 physical cores and 24 threads with hyper-threading. This frequency suits high single-thread performance and moderate parallel tasks such as databases or virtualization hosts.
