HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server E5-2643v3 3.4GHz 6C 32GB DDR4 2x 600GB SAS H240ar

HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643v3 six-core processor at 3.4GHz and 32GB of DDR4 memory. Two 600GB 15K SAS drives and an H240ar controller provide hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Dual 500W hot-swap power supplies add redundancy.

Suits single-socket deployments with 12 LFF bays

This configuration fits teams that need dense 3.5-inch storage in a 2U chassis with room for a second processor later. The 24 DIMM slots allow memory growth when a second CPU is added. Buyers who need GPU compute or more than twelve front drive bays should look elsewhere. The installed 32GB matches the single-processor maximum for this SKU.

Single Xeon E5-2643v3 limits memory to 32GB

With one processor installed, the memory ceiling is 32GB across twelve slots. Adding a second Xeon unlocks the remaining twelve slots and raises the system limit to 3TB. The H240ar supports both 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA drives across the twelve LFF bays. No operating system is included.
