HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server E5-2643 v3 3.4GHz 64GB DDR4 H240ar 12 LFF

2U Rack Server for Data Centres

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack-mount server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor running at 3.4GHz and 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. The platform supports a second processor for up to 36 total cores when demand grows.

Redundant Power and 12-Bay LFF Storage

Dual hot-swap 500W power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation. The chassis offers twelve 3.5-inch large-form-factor drive bays with trays and screws included, while the Smart HBA H240ar controller delivers 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA connectivity with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support. No drives are installed, so you populate the bays to match capacity and performance needs.

Upgrade Path from Smaller Rack Units

This server replaces 1U or tower systems that have exhausted memory slots, drive bays or PCIe expansion. The jump is worth it when workloads require 24 DIMM slots, twelve LFF bays and redundant power in a single 2U footprint. Buyers who need dense 2.5-inch storage, GPU compute density or a pre-installed operating system should look at alternative configurations.
