Server role and target users

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads that need expandable compute and storage density. It ships with a single Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor at 2.4GHz and 4GB of DDR4 ECC memory, leaving room to grow.

Upgrade path and when it matters

The platform supports a second Xeon v3 or v4 CPU for up to 36 total cores and 3TB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots. Adding the second processor and filling memory slots is worth it when virtualisation density or memory-bound applications exceed the single-socket baseline.

Installation notes and common pitfalls

The B140i controller handles SATA RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 only; SAS and NVMe drives require a separate controller. Eight 2.5-inch SFF bays are populated with two included trays, and the 500W redundant power supplies are hot-swap. Memory must be DDR4 ECC registered; non-ECC or unbuffered modules will not work.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the chassis provide?

The server includes 8 SFF bays for 2.5-inch drives, with options to add a universal media bay or extra 8 SFF bays in bay 2 and bay 3.

What is the correct order to install a second Xeon processor and its matching memory?

Insert the second processor into the empty CPU socket, then populate its 12 dedicated DIMM slots before powering on; the system will not recognise the new CPU if its memory slots are left empty.

When should the 500W hot-swap power supplies be replaced?

Replace a unit when its amber fault LED lights or iLO reports a power-supply failure; slide the failed module out and insert the new one while the server stays running.
