Refurbished HP Proliant DL380 Gen9 Rack Server Review
hi I'm Vinay 2.0 research analyst for Xfurbish and today we will be looking at HP's ProLiant dl380 gen9 rack server the dl380 gen9 server is a dual socket to you rack server that offers increased performance and expandability over previous models with enhanced storage and compute density the dl380 is an ideal addition to any server environment the ProLiant gen9 family of servers introduced the new Intel Xeon e5 2600 v3 family of processors to the to you form factor delivering more cores additional cash and better power efficiency over the previous generation of Xeon v2
processors up to to e5 2600 v3 series 18 core processors are supported for a total of 72 threads utilizing Intel's hyper threading technology the new Intel c6 10 chipset supports ddr4 memory providing faster speeds higher density and lower power consumption than the previous generation of servers this system is Energy Star compliant underscoring HP's commitment to conserving energy and helping customers save money this system is not backwards compatible with ddr3 memory modules when used with a dual CPU configuration a maximum of 24 ddr4 dims can support either 384 gigabytes of our dims or a maximum size of one and a half terabytes with the new 64 gigabyte lrdimms depending on the processor the dl380 supports memory speeds of up to 2133 megahertz
different chassis configurations support both SFF and lff drives this allows you to choose between SATA SSD or SAS drive options of up to 4 8 16 or 24 SFF drives with an option to add 2 SFF rear drives or depending on your storage needs 12 lff drives with an optional 3 lff rear drives the dl380 offers several different storage options use HP's embedded 1041 40 I static controller or for better performance choose the 12 gigabit per second pea 420 AR which supports SAS drives and raid
configurations of 0 1 2 and 556 60 with 2 gigabyte flash back right cache with battery raid 1 and 10 with advanced data mirroring is also supported for greater flexibility consider the p8 40 with 4 gigabyte cache which supports up to 16 drives without the need for an expander card reducing latency to SSDs depending on the chassis configuration the front of the dl380 gen9 allows access to the power on button USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports optional optical drive VGA connection and system insight display the back of the server provides access to redundant power supplies 2 USB 3.0 connections vga dedicated ILO connection serial port embedded quad port land and optional
flexible land on motherboard and depending on your needs PCIe riser slots or additional rear hard drives there are three different output options for platinum rated power supplies use either a 500 watt 800 watt or 14 hundred watt flex slot hot plug power supply these can be used across a variety of HP ProLiant gen9 servers a primary PCIe riser offers two PCIe gen3 slots of x16 wired x8 full-height half-length and x8 full-height half-plane slot for greater versatility an optional 2 slot can replace the primary riser with one x16 full-height volt length and one x8 full height full-length slot
with a 2 processor configuration and optional secondary riser card can be installed adding two additional x16 PCIe gen3 full height full Lane slots and another x8 full height 1/2 Lane slot various PCIe cards can be installed including InfiniBand cards fusion-io drives and depending on your chassis configuration powerful GPU cards like the NVIDIA grid K to Tesla K 4 TC and quad rope a six thousand each piece integrated lights-out management technology offers reliable remote management allowing you to maintain complete Refurbished server control and access your server from any remote location using a browser or the ILO mobile app an advanced license unlocks powerful remote management and control features the dl380 gen9 can weigh up to 52 pounds n is three point four or four inches tall 17.5 four inches wide and twenty six point seven five inches deep with SFF drives the optional lff chassis configuration increases the depth of the unit to twenty eight point seven five inches supported operating systems include Microsoft Windows Server Red Hat Enterprise Linux SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Oracle Solaris VMware Citrix XenServer n panicle Ubuntu and that concludes our brief overview of the dl380 gen9 server from HP for more Hardware reviews Follow to our Xfurbish TV please contact Xfurbish if you have any questions Vinay 2.0 wrote [email protected] for Xfurbish thanks for Reading
