HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF rack server 2x Xeon E5-2680 v3 192GB DDR4

Rack server with dual Xeon E5-2680 v3

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF is a 2U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz. Each CPU provides twelve cores and 30 MB of cache for a total of twenty-four cores. The system ships with 192 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed. It is aimed at organisations that need dense compute capacity for virtualisation, database workloads or general-purpose applications in a standard rack environment.

Verify rack space power and drive requirements

Before ordering confirm that your rack can accommodate a chassis measuring 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighing 40 units. The unit includes two 500 W Flex Slot power supplies so ensure your PDU delivers compatible connectors and sufficient capacity. Eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays are available but no drives are installed; plan the quantity and capacity of SAS drives you need. The onboard P440 SAS controller manages RAID so check that your intended RAID level is supported by that controller.

Sustained load behaviour with dual CPUs and iLO

Under continuous workloads the dual twelve-core processors maintain their 2.5 GHz base frequency while the integrated iLO Advanced remote management monitors thermal sensors and power draw. The dual 500 W supplies share the load providing redundancy if one unit fails. DDR4 ECC memory corrects single-bit errors on the fly preserving data integrity during long compute runs. The P440 controller offloads parity calculations keeping CPU cycles free for application threads.
