HPE DL380 Gen9 4LFF 2x Xeon E5-2680 v3 256GB DDR4 rack server

HPE DL380 Gen9 4LFF Server

The HPE DL380 Gen9 4LFF is a rack-mounted server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to four 3.5-inch drive bays and includes an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller for storage management. Remote administration is handled through HPE iLO Advanced.

Virtualisation hosts and database clusters

This configuration suits teams running virtualisation hosts, database clusters or compute-heavy applications that benefit from 24 total cores and a large memory footprint. The dual 500 W power supplies and dual-port 1 GbE adapter provide baseline redundancy for production racks. Buyers who need direct GPU acceleration or more than four 3.5-inch bays should evaluate alternative platforms because this unit relies on integrated graphics and the 4LFF chassis limit.

256 GB DDR4 installed memory

The single specification that decides fit is the 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory already populated across the DIMM slots. The platform can scale to 3 TB, so current capacity determines whether the server meets immediate workload demands or requires additional modules before deployment. Matching DDR4 registered modules are required for any expansion.
