1U dual-Xeon rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors running at 1.6 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 16 DIMM slots and includes a Smart HBA H240 controller supporting RAID 0, 1 and 5. Two 146 GB 15K 2.5-inch SAS drives provide boot and data storage.

Suited for balanced compute and storage

This configuration fits workloads that need dual-socket processing, ECC memory and hot-swap SAS storage in a single rack unit. Redundant hot-swap power supplies support uptime requirements. Buyers who need more than 32 GB of RAM, more than eight drive bays or discrete GPU acceleration should look elsewhere.

Max memory fixed at 32 GB

The system board accepts up to 32 GB of DDR4 across its 16 slots, so the installed capacity is already the maximum this chassis can hold. Any future memory upgrade would require a different server platform.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 32 GB configuration or add more memory later?

The system ships with 32 GB DDR4 installed across 16 slots, and the Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors support a maximum of 32 GB total, so no further expansion is possible.

What does the 1.6 GHz clock speed mean for actual workloads?

Each of the two Xeon E5-2603 v3 CPUs runs at 1.6 GHz with six cores, giving 12 cores total for multi-threaded tasks such as virtualization or database work.

How does the H240 controller's 12 Gb SAS interface limit drive performance?

The Smart HBA H240 provides 12 Gb SAS connectivity, but the installed 146 GB drives operate at 6 Gbps, so the controller's higher bandwidth is not fully used by the current drives.
