2U Rack Server for Enterprise Workloads

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre environments that demand reliability and expandability. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz and 8GB of DDR4 ECC memory. The platform supports up to two processors and 24 DIMM slots for large memory configurations.

Suited for Virtualisation and Storage-Heavy Tasks

This configuration suits buyers who need 15K SAS performance and hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 through the Smart HBA H240ar controller. The 8-bay SFF chassis accepts 2.5-inch drives and includes redundant hot-swap 500W power supplies. Buyers who require NVMe support, GPU compute, or a pre-installed operating system should evaluate other platforms.

Storage Controller and Drive Interface Decide Fit

The H240ar provides 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA connectivity to the two included 600GB 15K SAS drives. RAID level support and drive bay count are fixed by this controller and chassis combination. Confirm that 12Gb SAS and the 8 SFF bay layout match your storage topology before purchase.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the H240ar controller support and what does that limit drive throughput to?

The H240ar handles 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA so installed 6Gb SAS drives run at their native 6Gbps link speed.

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the 2U chassis provide and can more be added?

The unit ships with 8 SFF bays; optional kits can expand to 16 or 24 SFF using bays 2 and 3.

How is the H240ar controller installed and which cabling step is often missed?

The H240ar plugs into a dedicated internal slot and requires the two Mini-SAS HD cables to the backplane — forgetting the second cable leaves half the bays offline.
