HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor running at 3.4 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. It is aimed at organisations that need a dense, redundant platform for virtualisation, database or general compute workloads in a standard rack.

Build quality and connectivity

Redundant hot-swap 500 W power supplies and eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays provide resilience and local storage flexibility. The Smart HBA H240ar controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across SAS and SATA drives, while the Matrox G200eH2 graphics handles basic console output.

Practical limits of the platform

Memory tops out at 8 GB with 24 DIMM slots available for future expansion using DDR4 modules up to 2400 MT/s. The chassis accepts up to two processors for a maximum of 36 total cores, and additional drive cages can raise bay count to 24 SFF or add NVME bays. Buyers who need more installed memory or a second CPU from day one should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the H240ar controller support and what is the maximum SAS speed?

The H240ar controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 12Gb SAS interface.

How many 2.5-inch drive bays are available in this 2U chassis?

The server provides 8 SFF bays for 2.5-inch drives, expandable to 16 or 24 with optional cages.

How is the H240ar controller installed and what common step is missed?

The H240ar is a dedicated internal module that slots into the storage controller bay; the step often missed is connecting the SAS cables from the backplane to the controller ports.
