HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server designed for data-centre workloads that need dense compute and storage in a standard cabinet. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643v3 six-core processor running at 3.4 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. Two 146 GB 15K SAS drives connect through an H240ar controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Redundant 500 W hot-swap power supplies and thermals

Dual 500 W redundant hot-swap power supplies keep the system running if one unit fails, while the 2U chassis directs airflow across the CPU, memory and drive bays. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics subsystem draws minimal power, leaving the majority of the power budget for the processor and storage. Fan speeds adjust to inlet temperature so idle noise stays low in a typical rack aisle.

Sustained load behaviour with 15K SAS drives

Under continuous demand the six-core Xeon maintains its 3.4 GHz base frequency across all cores, and the 15K SAS drives deliver consistent IOPS for database or virtualisation tasks. The H240ar controller manages parity calculations for RAID 5, 6, 50 or 60 without a dedicated cache battery, so write throughput scales with the number of drives installed. Memory bandwidth reaches 2400 MT/s per module when both processor sockets are populated.

Questions about this item

How do I install the second processor and which DIMM slots do I populate first?

The Intel C610 chipset supports up to two Xeon processors, each with 12 DDR4 slots. Install the second CPU in the empty socket, then populate its 12 slots starting with the lowest-numbered channels for balanced memory performance.

When will the 146 GB 15K SAS drives or the H240ar controller battery need replacement?

The 146 GB 15K SAS drives are mechanical and will wear over time; the H240ar uses a flash-backed write cache module that typically lasts several years before the super-capacitor degrades and requires a swap.

What thermal limit appears first when the 3.4 GHz six-core CPU runs at full load continuously?

The single 3.4 GHz Xeon E5-2643v3 can draw enough power under sustained load to hit the 500 W redundant power supply rating, so the PSU thermal threshold is the first ceiling you reach.
