HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor at 3.4GHz. It comes with 128GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots and includes two 500GB 7.2K SATA drives. Dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies are fitted. This system targets workloads needing dense compute and memory in a standard rack form factor.

B140i Software RAID and SATA Limits

The onboard B140i controller provides software RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 for SATA drives only. It does not support SAS or NVME devices. The chassis holds eight 2.5-inch SFF bays; additional bay kits can expand this to 16 or 24 bays but require separate purchase. Maximum installed memory reaches 128GB with the current processor, while the platform supports up to 3TB when a second CPU is added.

Check CPU, Memory and Drive Compatibility

Verify that your workload fits within the single-processor 128GB memory ceiling before ordering. The B140i controller only manages SATA drives, so SAS or NVME storage cannot be used on this controller. A second Xeon E5 v3 processor is required to access the remaining 12 DIMM slots and unlock the full 3TB capacity. Ensure your rack accepts 2U height and provides adequate airflow for dual power supplies.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single E5-2643 v3 or add a second processor for this 2U rack server?

The chassis supports up to two processors. One E5-2643 v3 at 3.4GHz with six cores is installed; a second matching CPU can be added later to reach 12 cores and 24 threads total.

What does the 3.4GHz clock on the E5-2643 v3 deliver in actual workloads?

The six-core Xeon runs at 3.4GHz base frequency with hyper-threading for 12 threads, giving strong single-thread speed for database and virtualisation tasks while the 128GB DDR4 feeds data without bottlenecks.

How does the B140i software RAID limit the SATA drives in practice?

The B140i controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 on SATA only. The two installed 500GB 7.2K drives are restricted to SATA 6Gbps throughput and cannot use SAS or NVME bays.
