HPE DL380 Gen9 NVMe Drives
The DL380 Gen9 Rack Server supports 6 NVMe drives with the Express bay bridge board (824019-001). This NVMe Express Bay Enablement kit (774741-B21) can only be used with the SFF chassis and installed in Bay 2. The NVMe-enabled chassis only supports 1xDouble Wide Graphics card since the Express Bay bridge board takes up the other x16 PCI-e 3.0 slot and is installed on the 2nd Slot of the Optional Primary PCI Riser (719076-B21).
HPE DL380 Gen9 M.2
With a PCI Standup card installed, you can have up to 2 M.2 SSD configured in this system. M.2 drives go in PCIe slots and use the B140i SATA controller only. Also, M.2 supports Software RAID only and the HPE Flexible Smart Array is not supported.
Memory
The ProLiant DL380 Gen9 Rack Server by HPE supports up to 24 DIMMs on a 2 Socket Configuration. 12 DIMMs per processor and support for DDR4 Registered (RDIMM), Load Reduced (LRDIMM), or Persistent Memory (NVDIMM). Please read up on the limitations of the memory below.
- Maximum Capacity 3TB (24 x 128GB LRDIMM @2400MHz)
- Maximum Capacity 768GB (24 x 32GB RDIMM @2400MHz)
- Maximum Capacity 128GB (16 x 8GB NVDIMM)
- Mixing 2133 and 2400MHz memory is not supported.
- Mixing RDIMM and LRDIMM memory is not supported.
- The 128GB LRDIMM may not be mixed with other DIMM capacities/types
HPE DL380 Gen9 Cooling
Reasons for the High-Performance Heatsink (795235-B21)
- 2 GPUs Installed
- CPU TDP > 120w
If your system is taking up a lot of power or you are using high-performance fans (719079-B21), you can add a High-Performance heatsink to help reduce power consumption (795235-B21).
Single-Processor Configuration Excluding 24-SFF and 12-LFF configurations
Four fans and two blanks are required in specific fan bays for redundancy.
Dual or Single-processor 24-SFF or 12-LFF Configuration
Six fans are required for redundancy.
A fan failure or missing fan causes a loss of redundancy. A second fan failure or missing fan causes an orderly shutdown of the server.
| Configuration | Fan bay 1 | Fan bay 2 | Fan bay 3 | Fan bay 4 | Fan bay 5 | Fan bay 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Processor | Fan Blank | Fan Blank | Fan | Fan | Fan | Fan |
| 1 Processor, 24SFF or 12 LFF Configuration with high-performance fans | Fan | Fan | Fan | Fan | Fan | Fan |
| 2 Processors | Fan | Fan | Fan | Fan | Fan | Fan |
The High-Performance Fan kit consists of 6 fans, these will need to replace all the standard Fans in the unit. The high-performance fans are used for 24-SFF and 12-LFF drive configurations and might be necessary for the following installations:
- Optional GPU riser installations
- ASHRAE-compliant configurations
Storage Controllers
HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 Rack server comes with the Embedded 10-Port SATA, B140i controller. If you’re looking for more, this server supports AROC Smart Arrays along with the normal Smart Arrays H240, P440, and P840.
Remember if you install a performance smart array. You will need the 96W Storage Battery (878643-001) as well.
HPE DL380 Gen9 PCI Risers
Each chassis will come with a Riser installed in the Primary slot. The Primary slot has two Riser options, and the Secondary Riser only has 1 Riser option. If the secondary riser is installed, you will need to install a second processor.
All slots support PCIe cards to 150W or more, but an additional Power Cable Kit is required. With a total of 6 PCI slots you have a wide range of PCI-e devices you can install.
The DL380 can support up to 2 Double Wide GPUs. The Double Wide GPUs are installed in Slot 2 and Slot 5. This configuration leaves two PCI slots open in Slot 1 and Slot 4. If you have NVMe drives installed the DL380 Gen9 Rack server can only support 1 Double-Wide GPU.
Below is the chart showing you what each PCI Riser option is. Please refer to this when looking to install a PCI card.
| Expansion Slot # | Technology | Bus Width | Connector Width | Form Factor | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Riser (Standard) | 1 | PCIe 3.0 | x8 | x16 | Full-height, Half-length slot |
| 2 | PCIe 3.0 | x8 | x16 | Full-height, Half-length slot | |
| 3 | PCIe 3.0 | x8 | x8 | Full-height, Half-length | |

GPU enablement kit (719082-B21)
The kit comes with 2 heatsinks and 8 cables to enable double-wide GPUs to be supported. The GPU Enablement Kit also comes with retention Brackets to support FL Cards. These retention brackets are installed on the air baffle.
HPE DL380 Gen9 Flex Slot your power!
For doublewide GPU support you are required to have at least 1x1400W Power Supply (720620-B21), per card for cards over 150W. Cards 150W or under can use 800W Power Supplies. All power supplies must be of the same input voltage, output rating, and efficiency rating. If non-matching power supplies are installed, you may receive an error message and/or experience operational issues with your server.
Mixing different power supplies in the same server may limit or disable some power supply features including support for power redundancy. To ensure access to all available features, all power supplies within the same server should have the same output and efficiency ratings. Maximum of 2 Flex Slot PS per platform.
