HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2697 v3 384GB DDR4 rack server

Dual-socket Xeon server for compute-heavy workloads

The HPE DL380 Gen9 chassis arrives with two Xeon E5-2697 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each offering 14 cores and 35 MB cache. It targets buyers who need high thread counts for virtualisation, databases or rendering without specifying a particular chipset or socket.

Memory capacity and type

Installed capacity is 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across the available DIMM slots. The system board supports a maximum of 3 TB, so buyers who want more storage-class memory must add modules themselves; the supplied configuration cannot be expanded beyond the board limit.

Thermals, noise and power draw

Two 500 W Flex Slot power supplies provide redundancy and feed the dual-CPU platform under normal load. The 8SFF drive cage and integrated graphics keep internal airflow straightforward, while the iLO Advanced remote management card allows fan-speed monitoring without a local display.
