Server Identity

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads that demand dual-processor performance. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core CPUs running at 3.4 GHz, 32 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a pair of 500 GB 7.2 K SATA drives. Redundant hot-swap 500 W power supplies and the B140i software RAID controller complete a platform ready for virtualisation, database or general compute tasks.

Fit and Limits

This system suits teams that need a dense 2U chassis with up to 24 DIMM slots and eight SFF drive bays for internal growth. Buyers who require hardware RAID acceleration, NVMe boot drives or GPU compute should look elsewhere because the B140i controller supports SATA RAID 0/1/5/10 only and the Matrox G200eH2 graphics provide basic management output.

Deciding Specification

The B140i software RAID controller is the single specification that determines suitability; it handles SATA RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 without a dedicated cache or battery-backed write cache. If your deployment needs hardware RAID with cache protection, SAS connectivity or NVMe support, this server will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the DL380 Gen9 get with two E5-2643 v3 CPUs running 24/7 under load?

The 2U chassis uses redundant 500 W hot-swap power supplies and multiple system fans; acoustic and thermal output scale with workload, but the server is designed for continuous data-centre operation.

Which drive trays and cables must I already have to populate the remaining six 2.5-inch SFF bays?

The unit includes trays for the two installed 500 GB SATA drives; additional HP SFF trays and SATA data cables are required for each extra drive you add.

Will the B140i controller recognise older 3 Gbps SATA drives I might reuse from a Gen8 system?

The B140i Software RAID supports SATA 6 Gbps and is backward compatible with 3 Gbps SATA drives, so legacy drives will be detected and can join RAID 0, 1, 5 or 10 arrays.
