HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 rack server E5-2670 v3 12C 2.3GHz 64GB DDR4 2x 146GB SAS P440 4GB FBWC

HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads that need balanced compute and storage density. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 twelve-core processor running at 2.3GHz, 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots, and two 146GB 15K SAS drives managed by a Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache. Dual 500W redundant power supplies and 24 small-form-factor drive bays provide a foundation for virtualisation, database or file-serving roles.

Suited for general-purpose virtualisation

This configuration suits teams running hypervisors or traditional applications that benefit from twelve physical cores, 24 threads and high-speed SAS spindles behind a hardware RAID controller. The 64GB memory ceiling matches the installed capacity, so workloads requiring more RAM per socket will need a different platform. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than twelve physical cores per socket, or storage interfaces other than SAS should evaluate other platforms.

Maximum installed memory is 64GB DDR4

The system arrives with 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, which equals the maximum supported capacity listed for this unit. All 24 DIMM slots are populated to reach that total, leaving no room for expansion without removing existing modules. Any deployment that anticipates memory growth beyond 64GB must consider a server with a higher per-socket or aggregate memory limit.
