HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 12LFF rack server 2x Xeon E5-2699 v4 512GB DDR4 no drives

HPE DL380 Gen9 12LFF 2x Xeon 512GB DDR4

This HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 rack server arrives with two Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz, each providing 22 cores and 55 MB cache. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a Smart Array P440ar SAS controller with expander supporting up to 12 3.5-inch SATA drive bays. Dual 800 W hot-plug power supplies and integrated Intel I350/X540 2×10 GbE + 2×1 GbE networking are installed. HPE iLO Advanced remote management is licensed.

Suits virtualization hosts needing high core count

The 44 total cores and 512 GB DDR4 fit dense VM clusters, database caching tiers and compute-heavy workloads that scale across many threads. Buyers who need fewer cores, less memory or a smaller chassis with fewer than 12 drive bays should select a different platform. The integrated graphics and lack of discrete GPU slots also limit GPU-accelerated tasks.

12-bay 3.5-inch SATA backplane

Storage capacity and RAID topology are defined by the twelve 3.5-inch bays wired to the P440ar controller and SAS expander. No drives are included so the buyer must populate bays with SATA HDDs or SSDs matching the controller’s supported RAID levels. This backplane count and controller combination is the fixed constraint that determines whether the server fits the intended storage design.
