HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server E5-2643 v3 3.4GHz 16GB DDR4 2x 600GB SAS P440 4GB FBWC

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 E5-2643 v3 six-core processor running at 3.4GHz and 16GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots. Storage is handled by a Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache and two 600GB 15K SAS drives. Dual 500W redundant power supplies provide continuous operation.

Suits single-socket deployments needing 12Gb SAS

This configuration suits environments that run virtualised or database workloads on a single processor with hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. The 16 SFF drive bays allow further SAS expansion. Buyers needing dual-processor compute density or more than 16GB of memory out of the box should look elsewhere. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics controller limits use cases requiring GPU acceleration.

Single E5-2643 v3 processor with six cores

The installed Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 delivers six cores at 3.4GHz with hyper-threading for 12 logical threads. The server supports a second processor to reach 36 total cores across both sockets. Memory scales to 3TB using DDR4 ECC registered modules up to 2400MT/s. Maximum installed memory capacity is defined by the processor capability and the 24 available slots.
