HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre deployment. It arrives new with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. Dual 500 W redundant hot-swap power supplies support continuous operation.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense memory.

This configuration suits teams running virtual machines or memory-heavy applications that benefit from the installed 128 GB capacity and 24 available slots. Buyers who need hardware RAID acceleration, NVMe boot drives, or dedicated GPU compute resources should evaluate other platforms because the B140i controller supports SATA RAID only and the Matrox G200eH2 provides basic display output.

B140i Software RAID controller limits storage

The storage subsystem relies on the B140i Software RAID controller which handles SATA drives exclusively at RAID 0, 1, 5, or 10. Two 1 TB 7.2 K 2.5-inch enterprise SATA drives are installed in the 8-bay SFF chassis. Expanding beyond SATA RAID or adding NVMe devices requires a different controller not included with this unit.

Questions about this item

How do I install the second processor in the DL380 Gen9, and which step is often missed?

Fit the second Xeon into the empty socket, then populate its 12 DIMM slots with DDR4 modules; the step often missed is adding the matching memory so the second CPU has local memory.

Which components will need replacement first in this server?

The two 500W redundant power supplies and the 7.2K RPM SATA drives are the field-replaceable parts most likely to require service over time.

What limit appears first when the B140i controller runs sustained write workloads?

The B140i software RAID uses system CPU and memory for parity calculations, so sustained writes hit CPU utilisation and memory bandwidth before the SATA drives saturate.
