HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF 1x Xeon E5-2699 v3 384GB DDR4 rack server

HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF Server

This rack-mount server system is built for data-centre workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity. It ships with a single 18-core Xeon E5-2699 v3 processor running at 2.3GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports flexible storage configurations through the included P440 SAS controller. It suits virtualization hosts, database nodes and compute clusters that need room to grow.

Memory Capacity and Expansion Headroom

The system arrives with 384GB of DDR4 installed across the available DIMM slots, leaving headroom up to the platform maximum of 3TB when a second processor is added. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays connect to the P440 controller with support for SAS and SATA media, while the controller cache uses a 768MB module. A second Xeon socket is vacant, doubling both core count and memory channels when populated.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

Dual 500W Flex Slot power supplies provide redundancy and efficient delivery for the single-CPU configuration under typical loads. Integrated graphics and the Intel I350/X540 network card add minimal thermal load, while HPE iLO Advanced enables remote monitoring of fan speeds and inlet temperatures without a local console. The 2U form factor fits standard racks with airflow designed for sustained operation.
