2U rack server with Xeon E5-2643v3

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack-mount server built around a single six-core Intel Xeon E5-2643v3 processor running at 3.4 GHz. It ships with 96 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes two 1 TB 7.2 K 6 Gbps SAS drives. A second processor can be added for up to 12 physical cores total.

SAS storage limits with H240ar controller

The Smart HBA H240ar controller provides 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA connectivity with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The 12 large-form-factor bays accept 3.5-inch SAS drives at 6 Gbps; SATA drives are limited to the controller's 6 Gbps link. Maximum installed memory is capped at 96 GB with the current single-processor configuration.

Check processor, memory and bay requirements

Verify that your workload can operate within the 96 GB memory ceiling unless a second Xeon E5 v3 processor is installed to unlock the full 3 TB capacity. Ensure the 12 front LFF bays match your drive count and that 6 Gbps SAS performance meets application needs. Confirm rack space for a 2U unit and dual 500 W redundant power supply connections.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a single-processor or dual-processor configuration for this DL380 Gen9?

The server ships with one E5-2643 v3 six-core 3.4 GHz CPU and supports a second processor in the empty socket. Adding a matching CPU doubles core count and unlocks the remaining 12 DIMM slots for expansion beyond the installed 96 GB.

What does the 96 GB DDR4 figure mean for actual workloads?

96 GB of ECC-registered DDR4 fills half the 24 DIMM slots, giving headroom for virtual machines, databases or large datasets while the memory controller runs modules at speeds supported by the E5-2643 v3 processor.

How does the Smart HBA H240ar controller affect drive performance?

The H240ar provides 12 Gbps SAS and 6 Gbps SATA connectivity with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so the installed 1 TB 7.2K SAS drives operate at their native 6 Gbps link speed and can be expanded with additional SAS or SATA drives.
