HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server E5-2609 v3 6C 1.9GHz 48GB DDR4 2x 146GB SAS P440 4GB FBWC

HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server

This HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server is a 2U rack system built for data-centre workloads. It arrives with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB FBWC manages two 146 GB 15K SAS drives in 16 SFF bays. Dual 500 W redundant hot-swap power supplies support continuous operation.

Suited for single-socket deployments needing SAS

This configuration fits environments that run virtualisation hosts, database nodes or application tiers on a single processor. The 48 GB memory ceiling and single CPU limit it for workloads that require two processors or larger memory footprints. Buyers who need more storage bays or higher core counts should look at a different configuration. No operating system is included.

48 GB DDR4 maximum with one processor installed

The system board provides 24 DIMM slots, yet the installed processor caps usable memory at 48 GB across 12 active slots. Adding a second processor would unlock the remaining slots and raise the maximum to 3 TB. Memory speed reaches 2400 MT/s depending on the processor capability. This limit decides whether the chassis can grow with the workload.
