HPE DL360 Gen9 4LFF 2x Xeon E5-2683 v4 256GB DDR4 rack server

HPE DL360 Gen9 4LFF dual Xeon server

The HPE DL360 Gen9 4LFF chassis holds two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors running at 2.1GHz, each with 16 cores and 40MB cache. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a Smart Array P440 SAS controller. This 1U rack system targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and compute clusters that need dense processing in a standard rack footprint.

Check rack depth power

The unit measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, so confirm your rack depth and weight capacity. Two 500W Flex Slot power supplies are installed; verify your PDU connectors and available circuits. The chassis provides four 3.5-inch LFF bays with SATA backplane — no drives are included, so plan your SAS or SATA drive count and RAID level. Integrated Intel I350 and X540 network ports deliver two 10GbE and two 1GbE links; ensure your switch ports and cabling match. iLO Advanced remote management is licensed and firmware is current.

Replaces older 2U dual-socket servers when density

Moving from a 2U platform to this 1U design recovers half the rack height while keeping 256GB memory capacity and dual 16-core CPUs. The jump is worth it when rack space is at a premium and workloads fit within four LFF drives or external storage. Maximum memory scales to 768GB across 24 DIMM slots, so future growth stays in the same chassis. Buyers who need more than four internal drives or GPU acceleration should evaluate larger chassis options.
