Product Identity

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor at 1.9GHz, 48GB of DDR4 memory and two 300GB 15K SAS drives. The Smart HBA H240ar controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across 12 large-form-factor bays.

Who This Suits

Organisations needing a dense 2U platform with redundant 500W power supplies and room to grow to a second processor or 24 DIMM slots. The 12-bay LFF chassis fits high-capacity 3.5-inch SAS drives for bulk storage. Not for buyers who require solid-state boot drives, more than 48GB of memory without adding modules, or graphics performance beyond the integrated Matrox G200eH2.

Deciding Specification

The installed memory ceiling is 48GB across 24 DDR4 slots, so any workload needing more capacity must budget for additional modules. This single limit determines whether the server fits the application or whether a larger memory configuration is required.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the H240ar controller sees both 300 GB 15K SAS drives after installation?

During POST the Smart HBA H240ar BIOS will list each 300 GB 15K 6Gbps SAS drive; press F8 to enter the Array Configuration Utility and confirm both appear in a healthy RAID 1 volume.

Which items ship inside the chassis and what must I source separately?

The 2U rack unit arrives with one Xeon E5-2609v3, 48 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, two 300 GB 3.5" SAS drives in trays, H240ar controller, dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies and Matrox G200eH2 graphics; rails, OS and extra drives are not included.

Should I choose the single-processor 48 GB configuration or add a second CPU for 3 TB maximum memory?

The board supports two processors and 24 DIMM slots; with one E5-2609v3 installed you can reach 48 GB today, adding a second identical CPU unlocks the full 3 TB DDR4 capacity across all slots.
