HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server E5-2630 v3 8C 2.4GHz 4GB DDR4 P440 4GB FBWC 16 SFF

Core Specifications

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4GHz and 4GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The integrated Smart Array P440 controller provides 4GB FBWC and supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across 16 SFF drive bays. Dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies are included.

Target Buyers

This server suits organisations needing dense 2.5-inch storage capacity with hardware RAID in a standard 2U form factor. It fits environments that can populate memory up to the 24 DIMM slots and add a second processor for up to 36 total cores. Buyers who require pre-installed drives, an operating system, or GPU-accelerated compute should look at alternative configurations. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics with 16MB video memory only provides basic console output.

Deciding Specification

The 16 SFF drive bays backed by the P440/4GB FBWC controller determine whether this chassis matches your storage density and RAID requirements. This bay count and controller combination fixes the maximum number of SAS drives and the RAID levels available without adding expander cards. Verify that 16 bays and the supported RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 meet your array design before purchase.
