HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server E5-2643v3 3.4GHz 6-core 96GB DDR4 2x 146GB SAS P440 4GB FBWC

2U rack server for dense compute

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rackmount system built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2643v3 six-core processor running at 3.4GHz. It ships with 96GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes two 146GB 15K SAS drives managed by a Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache. Dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies and a Matrox G200eH2 graphics adapter complete the configuration.

Suited for memory-heavy legacy workloads

This server fits organisations running virtualised databases, ERP instances or middleware that benefit from high single-thread frequency and large DDR4 capacity within a 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis. RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 are supported for local redundancy. Buyers who need GPU-accelerated compute, shared-nothing storage clusters or all-flash SAS arrays beyond the installed 146GB drives should evaluate alternative platforms.

96GB DDR4 at maximum installed capacity

The 96GB DDR4 ECC registered memory fills the supported maximum for this processor configuration, delivering 2400MT/s performance dependent on CPU capability. Twenty-four slots allow future expansion only if a second processor is added, raising the system ceiling to 3TB. If the workload demands more memory than 96GB today, this specific unit cannot satisfy it without additional hardware changes.
