HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2603 v3 1.6 GHz 16 GB DDR4 H240

Balanced 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a compact 1U rackmount server system designed for general-purpose workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors running at 1.6 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. The platform supports up to 36 total cores and 1 TB of memory across 16 DIMM slots for future expansion. Redundant hot-swap power supplies and the Smart HBA H240 controller provide a balanced foundation for cloud and standard applications.

Suits scale-out compute.

This server fits environments that need dense, two-socket compute with flexible 2.5-inch drive bays and hardware RAID 0, 1 or 5. It is not for workloads requiring installed GPU acceleration, more than 16 GB of memory out of the box, or pre-installed operating system and storage drives. Builders needing additional drive bays or a universal media bay must source those options separately.

Smart HBA H240 12Gb SAS controller

The storage subsystem centres on the HP Smart HBA H240 controller delivering 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA connectivity with RAID 0, 1 and 5 support. Eight SFF drive trays with screws are included, though no drives are installed. This controller choice determines which drive types can be used and the RAID levels available, making it the key specification to verify against your storage architecture.
