HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon E5-2630v3 2.4GHz 96GB DDR4 2x 146GB SAS H240ar

HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U server

This 2U rack server ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz. It targets data-centre workloads that need 32 threads and up to 3TB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots. The unit includes an H240ar controller with 12 Gb SAS connectivity and redundant 500 W hot-swap power supplies.

Thermals noise and power draw

Dual 500 W redundant hot-swap power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails. Eight small-form-factor drive bays and 24 memory slots are cooled by the standard Gen9 fan wall, which ramps speed based on inlet temperature and component utilisation. Acoustic output varies with workload density and rack airflow.

Maximum memory capacity and DIMM slots

The platform supports up to 3TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory using 24 slots, 12 per processor, with speeds up to 2400 MT/s depending on the installed CPU. This configuration ships with 96 GB already populated. Buyers who need more than 3TB of total memory or a different memory generation should consider other platforms.
