Enterprise 2U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads that demand high core density and redundant power. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor at 3.4 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. The chassis supports up to two processors for 36 total cores and 3 TB of memory. Two 500 W hot-swap supplies provide N+N redundancy.

Sustained compute and storage throughput

Under continuous load the six cores maintain 3.4 GHz while the H240ar controller drives two 146 GB 15 K SAS drives through a 12 Gb SAS backplane. ECC registered DDR4 at up to 2400 MT/s corrects single-bit errors without interrupting long-running jobs. Redundant fans and power supplies keep the system online when a single module fails during extended operation.

SAS interface and expansion ceiling

The Smart HBA H240ar handles 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across eight 2.5-inch bays. Maximum internal capacity stops at 24 SFF bays when optional cages fill bay 2 and bay 3. NVMe drives can only occupy bay 2, and a universal media bay is restricted to bay 3. Buyers who need more than 24 drives or boot NVMe from bay 3 cannot use this chassis.

Questions about this item

How much fan noise and heat do the dual 500W redundant supplies add during 24/7 operation?

The server uses two 500W hot-swap power supplies with redundant cooling; fan speed scales with inlet temperature and total load, so acoustics and exhaust heat rise only when the Xeon E5-2643 v3 and drives are fully utilised.

Which rack rails, cables and operating system licence must I supply to get the 2U chassis running?

You need compatible rack rails for a 2U ProLiant DL380 Gen9, SAS data cables for the 8 SFF backplane, and your own OS licence because the unit ships with no operating system installed.

Can I add a second Xeon E5-2643 v3 and fill the remaining DDR4 slots to reach the 3TB maximum?

Yes — the board supports two processors and 24 DDR4 DIMM slots (12 per CPU), so a matching E5-2643 v3 plus registered ECC DDR4 up to 2400MT/s will scale memory toward the 3TB limit.
