What this 2U rack server is

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processor running at 2.4 GHz with eight cores. It ships with 4 GB of DDR4 memory and two 500 GB 7.2K SATA drives managed by the B140i software RAID controller. Redundant 500 W hot-swap power supplies are included.

Sustained-load behaviour

The B140i controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 for the SATA drives, but write performance under continuous load will be limited by the software RAID implementation and the 7.2K spindle speed. Memory bandwidth scales with the processor capability up to 2400 MT/s across the 24 DIMM slots, while the Matrox G200eH2 graphics provide only basic display output.

The deciding specification

The B140i controller handles SATA drives only; SAS or NVME devices are not supported on this controller. Buyers who need hardware RAID, SAS connectivity or NVME support must add a different controller. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch SFF bays with optional expansion to 16 or 24 bays, but the installed configuration is fixed at two SATA drives.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the 2U rack server run with dual 500W redundant power supplies operating continuously?

The system includes two 500W hot-swap power supplies with redundant design to share load and reduce thermal stress during all-day operation.

Which memory modules must I already own to expand the 4GB DDR4 installed in the 24 DIMM slots?

You need DDR4 ECC Registered modules in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB or 64GB capacities running up to 2400MT/s, limited by the Xeon E5-2630 v3 processor capability.

Will my existing 2.5-inch SATA drives work with the B140i controller and 8 SFF bays alongside the two 500GB 7.2K drives supplied?

Yes, the B140i software RAID supports SATA only and the chassis provides 8 SFF bays, so additional 2.5-inch SATA drives can be added to the remaining six slots.
