Purpose-built 2U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server fitted with a single Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 twelve-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets organisations that need dense compute in a standard rack footprint for virtualisation, database or file-serving workloads.

Capacity and headroom

Two 4 TB 7.2 K 6 Gbps 3.5-inch SAS drives provide 8 TB of raw storage managed by the Smart HBA H240ar controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. The chassis holds twelve large-form-factor bays, so capacity can grow substantially, while the board offers twenty-four DIMM slots for up to 3 TB of DDR4 when a second processor is added. The single CPU and 32 GB installed today leave headroom for both more cores and more memory.

Thermals, noise and power

Dual hot-swap 500 W redundant power supplies share the load and maintain operation if one unit fails. The 2U form factor uses internal airflow channels to cool the processor, memory and drive cage without requiring external cooling infrastructure. Acoustic output is typical for a rack-mounted data-centre server and is not designed for office or desktop environments.

Questions about this item

Will the 12-core Xeon E5-2670 v3 at 2.3 GHz bottleneck older SAS drives I keep in the remaining bays?

The Smart HBA H240ar controller runs at 12 Gbps SAS and 6 Gbps SATA, so legacy 6 Gbps SAS drives will operate at their native speed without bottleneck.

How can I verify the H240ar RAID controller is healthy after installation?

During POST the controller initialises and shows drive status; the iLO management interface then reports firmware version, battery-backed cache state and RAID array health.

Which items ship in the box and what must I source separately?

The chassis includes one Xeon E5-2670 v3, 32 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, two 4 TB 3.5-inch SAS drives with trays, the H240ar controller and dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies; an operating system and any extra drives or memory are not included.
