HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server system built for data-center workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 twelve-core processor running at 2.3GHz and 96GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Two 1TB 7.2K SAS drives and an H240ar controller provide internal storage. Dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies support continuous operation.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense memory

This configuration fits teams running virtual machines or databases that benefit from 96GB of installed memory across 24 DIMM slots and hardware RAID across SAS drives. The single CPU leaves one socket open for future expansion. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, NVMe boot drives or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays without adding optional cages should look at other platforms.

Single Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 with 96GB DDR4 maximum

The installed processor defines the memory ceiling: the board supports up to 96GB total with this CPU, filling all 24 slots at speeds up to 2400MT/s. Adding a second compatible processor would raise the supported maximum, but the current single-CPU layout locks the memory limit at the factory-shipped 96GB.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single E5-2670 v3 or add a second processor for this 96 GB configuration?

The installed 96 GB matches the listed maximum for a single processor. Adding a second E5-2670 v3 would allow more memory to be installed up to the system limit.

What does the 2.3 GHz base frequency deliver in a real workload on this 12-core Xeon?

Twelve cores at 2.3 GHz provide steady multi-thread throughput for virtualisation, databases and compute tasks; Hyper-Threading presents 24 logical threads to the OS.

How does the H240ar controller's 12 Gb SAS link affect the installed 7.2 K 6 Gb SAS drives?

The drives run at their native 6 Gb/s; the 12 Gb/s controller backplane leaves headroom for faster SAS SSDs or additional drive shelves later.
