HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2630 v3 8GB 2x 1TB SAS H240ar

2U rack server with dual Xeon E5-2630 v3

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz. It includes 8 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 1 TB 7.2K 2.5-inch SAS drives. The system uses an HP Smart HBA H240ar controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 and ships without an operating system.

Memory ceiling limits future expansion

The installed 8 GB matches the maximum memory capacity stated for this specific configuration, even though the chassis provides 24 DIMM slots and the platform can address up to 3 TB with supported processors. DDR4 modules up to 64 GB each at 2400 MT/s are compatible, but the current specification caps usable capacity at 8 GB. Buyers who need more memory must verify whether this limit is a configuration restriction or a firmware constraint.

Check drive bay count and power redundancy needs

The server offers eight SFF drive bays and two 500 W redundant hot-swap power supplies. Additional bay options such as NVMe or extra SFF cages occupy specific bay positions and are not included. Ensure your rack provides 2U space and that the SAS interface matches your storage topology. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics output is intended for management rather than compute workloads.
