HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Rack Server E5-2609 v3 1.9GHz 6-Core 32GB DDR4 8x 146GB SAS H240ar

HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz and 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Eight 146GB 15K 2.5-inch SAS drives are installed across the eight small-form-factor bays, managed by a Smart HBA H240ar controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies provide power redundancy.

Suits single-socket deployments needing 15K SAS

This configuration suits environments that require 15K RPM SAS performance in a dense 2U form factor with room for a second processor. The installed memory reaches the 32GB limit of this single-CPU setup; workloads demanding larger memory footprints or NVMe acceleration should look at alternative configurations. Buyers who need GPU compute or media-bay expansion will not find those features here. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics controller supports only basic management display output.

24 DIMM slots with 12 per processor

The server provides 24 DDR4 DIMM slots, with 12 slots allocated to each processor socket. With one processor installed, only the first 12 slots are active, limiting maximum memory to 32GB in this configuration. Adding a second compatible processor unlocks the remaining 12 slots and raises the system maximum to 3TB. Memory speed operates up to 2400MT/s depending on the installed processor capability.
