Purpose-built 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a dual-socket 1U rackmount system equipped with two Xeon E5-2623 v3 processors, 32GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a Smart HBA H240 controller driving two 146GB 15K SAS drives. It targets organisations that need dense, balanced compute for virtualisation, cloud or general-purpose workloads in a standard rack.

Fit and alternatives

This configuration suits buyers who want redundant hot-swap power, hardware RAID 0/1/5 and up to 36 total cores in a 1U form factor. Buyers who need more than 32GB of installed memory, additional drive bays beyond the eight SFF slots, or a different drive interface should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification

The server ships with 32GB of DDR4 installed across 16 DIMM slots and the platform supports a maximum of 1TB total capacity, so the expandability ceiling is defined by the 16-slot DDR4 architecture and the C610 chipset.

Questions about this item

What does the Smart HBA H240 controller's 12Gb SAS interface cap in practice?

The controller runs at 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA, so installed 6Gbps drives operate at their native 6Gbps speed.

What physical space does this 1U server need in a rack?

It occupies a single 1U rack height and uses 2.5 inch SFF drive bays; eight bays are available.

How are the processors installed and what step is often missed?

Two E5-2623 v3 CPUs are pre-installed; if adding memory later, populate the eight DIMM slots per processor evenly to maintain channel balance.
