HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF 1x Xeon E5-2640 v4 384GB DDR4 rack server

HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF 384GB DDR4

This HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 rack server arrives with a single Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4 processor running at 2.4GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8SFF chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch SAS drives via the integrated Smart Array P440 controller, though no drives are installed in this configuration. Dual 500W Flex Slot power supplies and an Intel network card providing two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports complete the core platform. Remote management is handled through HPE iLO Advanced.

Suits memory-heavy workloads.

The 384GB DDR4 capacity and 25MB cache per processor make this system a strong fit for virtualisation hosts, in-memory databases or compute clusters that need large memory footprints per socket. Buyers who require two processors from day one should note only one CPU is installed, though the board supports a second. Organisations needing drives, rails or a different RAID level must add those separately, as the unit ships without storage or rail kit.

384GB DDR4 ECC registered memory

The installed 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM is the defining specification for capacity planning; it occupies a significant portion of the 3TB maximum and determines whether the server can hold your working set. Memory type and generation are fixed to DDR4, so any future expansion must match this exactly. The single 10-core Xeon E5-2640 v4 at 2.4GHz and the P440 SAS controller are the other fixed elements that shape performance and storage topology.
