2U rack server for dense compute

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 occupies 2U of rack space and ships with two Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors running at 1.9 GHz. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory are installed across the 24 DIMM slots, reaching the 32 GB ceiling supported by this CPU pair. Two 500 GB 7.2 K SATA drives sit in the front 2.5 inch bays behind the B140i software RAID controller. The chassis supports up to 8 SFF drives in the standard configuration.

Redundant power and thermal headroom

Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies provide full redundancy so a single supply failure does not interrupt operation. The 2U form factor allows generous airflow across the processor heatsinks and memory risers, keeping thermals stable under sustained load. Fan speed ramps with inlet temperature rather than fixed curves, so acoustic output stays low during typical virtualization or database workloads. Power draw scales with the two six-core CPUs and the installed drive count.

B140i RAID and expansion options

The B140i controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 across SATA devices only, giving basic redundancy without a hardware RAID card. Eight SFF bays are populated with the two drives; the remaining six bays accept additional 2.5 inch SATA or SAS units when trays are fitted. Optional universal media bay, NVMe riser or secondary 8-bay cage can be added to the second and third drive bay zones for up to 24 SFF drives total. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics core provides basic console output for installation and management.

Questions about this item

How do I install the E5-2609 v3 processors into the Intel C610 chipset sockets?

Align each processor with the socket notches, lower it straight down without force, and close the retention lever; the two CPUs must be identical 1.9 GHz six-core models for the dual-socket configuration to initialise correctly.

Which memory modules will I need to replace or add when the installed 32 GB DDR4 no longer meets workload demands?

Use DDR4 ECC Registered DIMMs rated up to 2400 MT/s in capacities of 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 GB; the 24 slots are split 12 per processor and actual speed depends on the installed Xeon capability.

At what point does the B140i software RAID limit sustained write throughput on the two 500 GB 7.2K SATA drives?

The B140i controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 over SATA only, so sustained heavy writes saturate the 6 Gbps SATA link and the drives’ 7.2 K RPM rotational latency before the RAID engine itself becomes the bottleneck.
