Purpose-built 1U server

The HP ProLiant DL160 G9 is a 1U rack-mount server system designed for dense compute environments. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors at 1.6 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 16 populated DIMM slots. The Smart HBA H240 controller provides RAID 0, 1 and 5 for SAS and SATA drives. Redundant hot-swap power supplies support continuous operation.

Fit and limits

This server suits workloads that need balanced CPU cores and large memory capacity in a single rack unit, such as virtualisation hosts or database nodes. The eight 2.5-inch SFF drive bays limit raw storage density compared to larger chassis. The embedded Matrox G200 graphics with 16 MB video memory is intended for management consoles only. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays or GPU-accelerated compute should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification

The installed memory reaches the processor-supported maximum of 128 GB with all 16 slots filled, so no further RAM upgrades are possible without replacing the CPUs. The H240 controller operates at 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA with RAID 0, 1 and 5. Dual 550 W redundant power supplies are included. Networking uses embedded 1 Gb Ethernet.

Questions about this item

Will the 128 GB DDR4 installed in this DL160 G9 leave room to add more memory later?

The 128 GB fills all 16 DIMM slots at the 128 GB maximum supported by the E5-2603 v3 processors, so no further memory can be added without changing CPUs.

How can I confirm the Smart HBA H240 controller is operating at 12 Gb SAS after installation?

During POST the H240 BIOS reports link speed, and the iLO interface shows each drive negotiating at 12 Gb SAS when compatible drives are fitted.

What ships with the server and what must I purchase separately to have a working storage array?

The unit includes the 1U chassis, dual E5-2603 v3 CPUs, 128 GB DDR4, H240 controller, 550 W power supply and eight 2.5" drive trays with screws; drives and an operating system are not included.
