HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server E5-2643v3 3.4GHz 6-core 48GB DDR4 2x 1TB SAS

2U Rack Server with Xeon E5-2643v3

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643v3 processor running at 3.4 GHz across six cores. Forty-eight gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed across 24 DIMM slots. Dual redundant 500 W power supplies and a Smart HBA H240ar controller provide resilience for continuous operation.

Suits single-socket deployments needing SAS storage

This configuration suits organisations that run virtualisation, database or general compute tasks on a single processor with up to 48 GB of RAM. The 12-bay LFF chassis accepts 3.5-inch SAS drives and the H240ar supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need two processors from day one, more than 48 GB of memory or GPU-accelerated workloads should evaluate other configurations. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics controller is intended for management console output only.

48 GB DDR4 memory ceiling with one CPU

The installed 48 GB of DDR4 matches the maximum capacity supported when only one processor is populated, because each CPU provides 12 memory channels. Adding a second Xeon E5-2600 v3 or v4 processor unlocks the remaining 12 DIMM slots and raises the system limit to 3 TB. The H240ar controller delivers 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA connectivity to the twelve front drive bays.
