Server identity

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor running at 3.4 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy. The Smart HBA H240ar controller supports 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA drives with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. No drives or operating system are included.

Fit and limits

This server suits teams needing a compact 2U chassis with redundant power and hardware RAID for SAS or SATA storage. Buyers who require GPU compute, NVMe boot drives, or more than 16 GB of memory from day one should look elsewhere. The single-CPU configuration leaves one socket empty for future expansion, but the installed RAM ceiling is fixed at 16 GB unless additional DIMMs are purchased. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics provide only basic console output.

Deciding spec

The single Xeon E5-2643 v3 at 3.4 GHz with six cores and twelve threads is the performance anchor for every workload on this box. All memory bandwidth, PCIe lanes and controller throughput stem from this one processor. If the target application needs more cores, higher thread counts or dual-socket scaling immediately, this configuration will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Smart HBA H240ar RAID controller and what step is often missed?

The H240ar plugs into its dedicated internal slot; the step often missed is enabling the option ROM in UEFI before creating RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 volumes.

What maintenance will the DDR4 memory need later?

The 24 DIMM slots support ECC Registered DDR4 up to 2400 MT/s; run the built-in memory test annually and replace any module that reports correctable errors.

What limit appears first under sustained load with the dual 500 W supplies?

The redundant 500 W hot-swap supplies share load; sustained draw above 500 W total removes redundancy and triggers throttle alerts.
