ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U dual Xeon server

This 1U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors, each providing ten cores at 2.3 GHz. Eight gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory are installed across sixteen DIMM slots. Eight 146 GB 15 000 rpm SAS drives connect through an H240 controller that supports RAID 0, 1 and 5. Redundant hot-swap 550 W power supplies are included.

Suits dense compute clusters

The dual ten-core CPUs deliver forty logical threads for multi-threaded workloads. The eight-bay small-form-factor chassis fits high spindle counts in one rack unit. Buyers who need more than eight gigabytes of memory from day one should look elsewhere. Environments that require GPU acceleration or single-thread frequency above 2.3 GHz should look elsewhere.

Eight 146 GB 15K SAS drives on H240 controller

The storage subsystem provides eight 2.5-inch 146 GB SAS drives spinning at 15 000 rpm. The Smart HBA H240 handles 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA with RAID 0, 1 and 5. This drive count and controller combination determines whether the array capacity and performance match the workload.

Questions about this item

What ships inside the chassis and what must I add?

The server arrives with two Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors, 8 GB of DDR4 installed in one of 16 slots, eight 146 GB 15K SAS drives in the 2.5-inch bays, an H240 Smart HBA, a 550 W redundant hot-swap power supply and a Matrox G200 GPU; operating system and additional memory are not included.

Should I take the 8 GB base configuration or expand toward the 1 TB maximum?

With 16 DDR4 slots supporting 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 GB modules up to 2400 MT/s ECC registered, start at 8 GB for light tasks and add matched pairs per processor to reach the 1 TB ceiling for virtualisation or database workloads.

What does the 10-core 2.3 GHz Xeon specification mean for real throughput?

Each of the two E5-2650 v3 CPUs provides 10 physical cores at 2.3 GHz, giving 20 cores and 40 threads total for parallel workloads such as virtualisation hosts or batch processing.
