HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 rack server Xeon E5-2643v3 3.4GHz 96GB DDR4 2x 1TB SAS P440 4GB FBWC

2U rack server with Xeon E5-2643v3

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643v3 six-core processor running at 3.4GHz and 96GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots. It includes an HP Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache and dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies. The chassis provides 24 small-form-factor drive bays populated with two 1TB 7.2K SAS drives.

Suits memory-heavy workloads within 96GB limit

The configuration fits virtualisation hosts, database nodes or application servers that operate within the installed 96GB capacity and rely on SAS RAID arrays. Buyers who need more than 96GB of memory or who require a second processor for additional cores should look at a different configuration.

Max memory fixed at 96GB

The system board supports a maximum of 96GB across 24 slots, so the installed capacity cannot be expanded beyond the factory configuration. This ceiling decides whether the server can accommodate future growth or must be replaced when workloads increase.
