ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U 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. Dual 500W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy from day one. The B140i controller handles SATA RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10.

Teams needing SATA RAID and room to grow

This server suits teams that want redundant power, 24 DIMM slots and eight 2.5-inch drive bays for SATA media. The installed CPU delivers 12 threads for virtualised or database tasks. Buyers who need hardware RAID, NVMe support or a second processor pre-installed should look at a different configuration. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics with 16MB video memory is only for basic console output.

B140i SATA-only RAID controller

The storage controller is the B140i, which manages RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 across SATA drives only. It cannot address SAS or NVMe media. Eight small-form-factor bays accept 2.5-inch SATA SSDs or HDDs; no drives are included. Expansion bays can add more SFF slots or a universal media bay, but the RAID engine remains limited to SATA RAID levels.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own 2.5" SATA drives for the 8 SFF bays?

Yes, the chassis includes two drive trays with screws but no drives are installed; the B140i controller supports SATA RAID 0/1/5/10 across the eight small-form-factor slots.

Can the B140i controller manage the existing SAS backplane if I keep older SAS disks?

The B140i is a SATA-only software RAID engine; it will not address SAS drives on the backplane, so legacy SAS media would require a dedicated hardware RAID card.

How can I verify the single E5-2643 v3 is recognised with all 12 threads after installation?

On first boot, enter the UEFI System Utilities or iLO 4 interface; the processor summary will show one 6-core 3.4 GHz CPU with hyper-threading presenting 12 logical threads.
