The DL380 Gen9, Up Close
Front — Hot-Swap Drive Bays
Up to 24× 2.5" SFF or 12× 3.5" LFF hot-swap bays behind the HPE Quick-release bezel. The 12LFF chassis is the one to ask for on capacity-heavy workloads — it takes commodity 3.5" SAS/SATA drives and keeps $/TB low.
Rear — Expansion & iLO4 Management
Three-riser system with up to 6× PCIe Gen3 slots, HPE FlexibleLOM networking bay for 1/10GbE, dual hot-plug PSUs (500W–1400W), and dedicated iLO4 Advanced port. FlexLOM means switching from 1GbE to 10GbE is a $20 module swap, not a whole NIC.

The DL380 Gen9 is the deepest-volume 2U platform of its era, and off-lease supply is currently flooding the market — that's why chassis prices are as low as $170. For 1st/2nd Gen Xeon Scalable and NVMe backplanes, step up to the DL380 Gen10. For the compact 1U version, see the DL360 Gen10.
Transparent Pricing
2026 Reference Pricing by Configuration
Market asking ranges tracked across US and EU refurbishers on August 8, 2026. Gen9 supply is deep right now — bare chassis as low as $170.
Bare Chassis
$170–$335
Chassis + motherboard + PSUs + basic controller. Observed across 4 US and EU refurbishers. Ideal for buyers with their own CPU/RAM/drive inventory.
Budget Config
$650–$1,220
Dual E5-2650 v3/v4 or 2680 v3, 32–128GB RAM, basic storage. The most asked-for range — virtualization labs, test/dev clusters, and lightweight production.
Production Spec
$1,500–$2,935
Dual E5-2680 v4 / 2690 v4, 128GB+ RAM, 12× LFF or 24× SFF with drives. Storage servers and dense VM hosts live here.

Quality Process
What We Test Before a DL380 Gen9 Ships
iLO4 Health & Event Logs
iLO4 captures every thermal event, power fault, and DIMM error since the server was deployed. We review the full log before anything else.
Full Memory Diagnostics
All 24 DIMM slots tested — slot-level failures are the most common repair on E5-2600 v3/v4 boards after years of 24/7 operation.
FlexibleLOM & NIC Verification
FlexLOM module confirmed and tested at line rate — a dead FlexLOM slot is the second-most-common field issue on Gen9.
Drive Backplane & Controller Check
Drive bay enumeration, SMART on all included drives, and P440ar/P840 controller cache battery health verified.
Physical Inspection
Riser clips, fan modules, and PSU cage — the parts that take damage during de-racking from data centers.
Report in the Box
Every unit ships with its per-machine diagnostic report and warranty. Full process: inspection guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a refurbished HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 cost in 2026?
Bare chassis $170–$335, budget configured systems $650–$1,220, and production-spec builds $1,500–$2,935 (August 2026 asking-price snapshot). Gen9 supply is deep off-lease right now, pushing chassis prices to their lowest in years.
What is the difference between the DL380 Gen9 and the DL380 Gen10?
The Gen10 moves to 1st/2nd Gen Xeon Scalable (Skylake/Cascade Lake), DDR4-2933, NVMe backplane options, and iLO5 — roughly 30–50% more performance per node. But the Gen9 chassis trades at less than half the price, making it unbeatable on $/core for budget builds.
Should I buy a DL380 Gen9 or a Dell PowerEdge R730?
Same CPU generation (E5-2600 v3/v4). Both have 24 DIMM slots and similar PCIe counts. The practical difference: HPE servers require an active warranty/support contract for firmware downloads, while Dell posts firmware publicly. If you plan to self-service firmware, Dell saves a step. We supply both and can quote whichever fits your ops model.
What condition are HKCHL refurbished DL380 Gen9 servers in?
Every unit passes documented per-unit diagnostics — iLO4 log review, full 24-slot memory testing, FlexLOM line-rate verification, drive health checks, firmware updates, and physical inspection — and ships with the report and warranty.
Can you ship a DL380 Gen9 to the US, Europe, or Middle East?
Yes. We ship worldwide from our Hong Kong warehouse with full export documentation; typical air-freight transit is 3–7 days to major markets. Hong Kong's zero import duty on IT hardware often makes our landed cost lower than domestic refurbishers.
