HP ProLiant DL160 G9 1U Rack Server E5-2623 v3 64GB 2x 1TB

Balanced 1U rack server for scale-out workloads

The HP ProLiant DL160 G9 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2623 v3 quad-core processor at 3 GHz with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across sixteen DIMM slots. Two 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives connect to the onboard B140i software RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1 and 5. A 550 W redundant hot-swap power supply and Matrox G200 graphics complete the configuration for cloud or general-purpose deployments.

Sustained load behaviour with single-socket ceiling

Under continuous demand the installed Xeon E5-2623 v3 delivers four physical cores and eight threads at its base frequency, while DDR4 runs up to 2400 MT/s depending on processor capability. Memory capacity is capped at 64 GB with one CPU; adding a second supported processor would unlock the full 1 TB maximum and additional DIMM slots. The B140i controller handles SATA RAID without a dedicated hardware accelerator, so sustained write throughput follows the 7.2K drive limits.

Thermals, noise and power in normal operation

The 1U chassis uses redundant 550 W hot-swap supplies to maintain uptime during a unit failure. Compact small-form-factor drive bays and the low-profile Matrox G200 keep airflow paths short, allowing the integrated fans to manage heat from the processor, memory and two spinning drives. Acoustic output scales with inlet temperature and workload intensity, while power draw tracks CPU utilisation and drive activity within the supply’s rated capacity.
