HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2603 v3 1.6 GHz 8 GB DDR4 2× 600 GB SAS H240

Dual Xeon E5-2603 v3 1U server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors running at 1.6 GHz. It includes 8 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 16 DIMM slots. Two 600 GB 15K 2.5-inch SAS drives are installed behind an HP Smart HBA H240 controller supporting RAID 0, 1 and 5. Redundant hot-swap 550 W power supplies are fitted.

Suits dense compute; not for large memory

This configuration fits environments that need a compact two-socket platform with fast 15K SAS storage for databases or virtualisation hosts. The 8 GB installed memory and 16-slot limit mean buyers who need large in-memory datasets should look elsewhere. The Matrox G200 graphics and lack of PCIe GPU space rule out GPU-accelerated applications.

8 GB installed DDR4 with 16 DIMM slots

The system ships with only 8 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory while providing 16 slots total, eight per processor. This low starting capacity relative to the slot count is the key specification that determines whether the server can run the intended workload without immediate memory expansion.
