HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2609 v3 1.9GHz 16GB DDR4 B140i 8 SFF

Dual Xeon E5-2609 v3 server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built around two six-core Xeon E5-2609 v3 processors running at 1.9GHz. It ships with 16GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across the 24 available DIMM slots. This configuration targets businesses needing a reliable platform for virtualisation, database hosting or general compute workloads in a standard rack environment. The system includes no operating system and no storage drives by default.

Redundant power and SFF drive bays

Two hot-swap 500W redundant power supplies provide continuous operation if one unit fails. The chassis offers eight 2.5-inch SFF drive bays and two drive trays with screws are included, though drives themselves are not supplied. Storage is managed by the onboard B140i software RAID controller which supports SATA drives only in RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 modes. Video output is handled by a Matrox G200eH2 chip with 16MB of dedicated memory for basic console access.

Check memory limits and RAID needs

The installed CPUs limit total memory capacity to 16GB despite the board providing 24 slots and a theoretical 3TB maximum with higher-specification processors. Buyers who need more than 16GB of RAM must also upgrade the processors. The B140i controller does not support SAS or NVME drives, so storage plans must use SATA media. Expansion bays for additional SFF, NVME or media options occupy specific chassis slots and may require separate hardware kits not included here.
