Compact 1U rack server for dual-socket workloads

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors running at 1.6GHz. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory populated across 16 DIMM slots and includes two 500GB 7.2K SATA drives managed by the B140i software RAID controller. Redundant hot-swap 550W power supplies support continuous operation in data-centre racks.

Suited for entry dual-socket deployments

This configuration fits buyers who need two physical CPUs and hardware RAID levels 0, 1 or 5 on SATA media. The B140i controller does not support SAS drives, so environments that require SAS-attached capacity or hardware-accelerated parity should look elsewhere. The installed memory reaches the 32GB ceiling for this specific CPU pair, leaving no headroom for expansion without a processor upgrade.

The B140i controller limits storage to SATA RAID 0.

All internal drive bays connect through the B140i software RAID engine, which only presents SATA logical volumes at RAID levels 0, 1 or 5. If the workload demands SAS connectivity, hardware RAID 6 or 10, or a different storage protocol, this server cannot meet that requirement without adding a supported controller.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power connections are needed to install this 1U server?

The chassis occupies 1U of rack height and includes a 550W redundant hot-swap power supply that requires standard IEC C14 inlets.

Can the B140i controller manage the existing 2.5-inch SATA drives together with larger capacity SATA drives I may add later?

Yes, the B140i software RAID supports RAID 0, 1 and 5 across any SATA drives installed in the eight 2.5-inch bays.

How can I verify that both Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors and all 32GB of DDR4 memory are recognised after first power-on?

During POST the System ROM screen lists each detected processor and the total installed memory; the iLO web interface also shows both CPUs and 32GB DDR4.
