HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Rack Server

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 running at 1.9GHz and 96GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. Two 500GB 7.2K SATA drives and dual 500W redundant power supplies are included. This configuration suits buyers needing a dense, reliable platform for virtualization or general compute tasks.

B140i Software RAID and SATA drive limits

The installed B140i controller provides software RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10 for SATA drives only. It does not support SAS or NVME devices, so storage expansion is restricted to SATA media. The chassis offers eight 2.5-inch SFF bays, with optional upgrades to 16 or 24 bays or NVME in specific bays. Buyers who need hardware RAID acceleration or mixed SAS/SATA arrays must add a separate controller.

Single E5-2609v3 processor installed

This unit contains one Xeon E5-2609v3 CPU; the socket supports a second processor for up to 36 total cores and 3TB maximum memory. The current 96GB matches the installed processor's practical limit at 2400MT/s. Buyers who want more cores or higher memory bandwidth will need to populate the second socket with a compatible v3 or v4 Xeon.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single E5-2609v3 or add a second processor for my workload?

The server supports up to two processors and 36 total cores across both sockets. A single E5-2609v3 provides six cores at 1.9GHz. Adding a second matching CPU doubles core count and memory channels, which helps with virtualisation or heavily threaded applications.

What does the installed 96GB DDR4 actually deliver in this configuration?

The system ships with 96GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory running at up to 2400MT/s, limited by the E5-2609v3 memory controller. All 24 DIMM slots are populated to reach this capacity, so any further expansion requires replacing existing modules.

How does the B140i SATA RAID controller limit drive performance and RAID options?

The B140i provides software RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 for SATA drives only. It cannot manage SAS or NVMe devices. With the two installed 500GB 7.2K SATA drives you are limited to the throughput of the SATA 6Gbps interface and the overhead of software RAID processing.
