HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 4LFF 2x Xeon E5-2630 v4 256GB DDR4 rack server

Dual Xeon E5-2630 v4 compute node

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 4LFF chassis arrives with two 10-core Xeon E5-2630 v4 processors running at 2.2GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets virtualization hosts, database clusters, and dense compute workloads that need many threads in a 2U footprint. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or single-thread frequency above 3GHz should look elsewhere.

Four-bay LFF chassis with P440 RAID

The 4LFF cage accepts up to four 3.5-inch SATA drives backed by the HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller. Two 500W Flex Slot supplies and a 2-port 332T Ethernet adapter are already installed, while the integrated iLO Advanced module handles remote power, console, and firmware updates. The system leaves drive selection and capacity planning entirely to the integrator.

Sustained throughput on 20 cores

With twenty physical cores and 25MB of last-level cache per socket, the server maintains steady throughput on multi-threaded services such as hypervisor schedulers or batch analytics. The DDR4 subsystem feeds all cores without bottlenecks, and the dual power supplies share load continuously. Workloads that depend on burst turbo behaviour rather than constant all-core frequency will see different results.
