HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Rack Server E5-2643 v3 3.4GHz 48GB DDR4 H240ar

2U Rack Server for Data Centres

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack-mount server built for data-centre workloads. It arrives new with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor at 3.4 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy. The Smart HBA H240ar controller handles 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suited to Virtualisation and Database Roles

This configuration fits virtualisation hosts, database nodes and compute clusters that benefit from high per-core frequency and redundant power. The eight 2.5-inch SFF bays accept SAS or SATA drives for local storage. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processors should evaluate other platforms. The integrated Matrox G200eH2 graphics with 16 MB video memory is intended for management consoles only.

Memory Ceiling Decides Fit

The installed 48 GB matches the listed maximum memory capacity for this specific unit, so no further DDR4 modules can be added without a different configuration. Twenty-four slots are physically present, yet the stated limit remains 48 GB. Verify that this ceiling satisfies the working-set size of your applications before purchase.
