HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 24SFF rack server 1x Xeon E5-2640 v3 384GB DDR4

24SFF rack server for dense storage workloads

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 chassis holds up to 24 small-form-factor SAS drives in a 2U footprint. A single Xeon E5-2640 v3 running at 2.6GHz with eight cores provides the compute base, while 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory supports large in-memory databases or virtualisation clusters. The integrated Smart Array P440ar controller with SAS expander manages the backplane directly. This configuration suits buyers who need maximum drive density in a standard rack depth.

Dual 800W hot-plug supplies

Two 800W Flex Slot power supplies deliver redundancy and allow maintenance without shutdown. HPE iLO Advanced gives full out-of-band control over power, console and firmware updates from any network location. The 10GbE and 1GbE Intel network adapters handle both storage and management traffic on separate physical links. Buyers who require single-cord power or passive cooling should look elsewhere.

No drives or rails included — add only what

The server ships without storage drives, letting you populate SAS HDDs or SSDs to match capacity and performance targets. Rail kits are available on request rather than bundled, so cabinet compatibility can be confirmed before purchase. Firmware and BIOS are updated to the latest stable release and a full burn-in test is completed prior to dispatch. Buyers expecting a populated array or included rails will need to specify those items separately.
