  • Dual Xeon E5-2623 v3 CPUs deliver 16 virtual cores for multi-threaded workloads
  • 64 GB DDR4 ECC memory installed across 16 DIMM slots for data integrity
  • Smart HBA H240 supports 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA with RAID 0/1/5
  • Redundant 550 W hot-swap power supply maintains uptime during failures
  • 1U rack chassis holds eight 2.5" drive bays for dense storage scaling

Purpose-built 1U server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 fits a dual-socket Intel Xeon E5 v3 platform into a single rack unit. Two E5-2623 v3 quad-core processors at 3 GHz deliver 16 threads for virtualization hosts, database nodes or high-density compute clusters. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory fill half the 16 DIMM slots, leaving room for growth without a chassis change.

Build and connectivity

Redundant hot-swap 550 W power supplies keep the rack running during a module swap. The Smart HBA H240 controller provides 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA paths with RAID 0, 1 and 5 across eight 2.5-inch drive bays. A Matrox G200 with 16 MB video memory handles console output, while the Intel C610 chipset manages I/O without additional expansion cards in this configuration.

Upgrade path

The server maxes at 64 GB with the current processors, so memory-intensive workloads will need a CPU step-up to reach the 1 TB platform limit. Eight SFF bays constrain raw capacity compared with large-form-factor alternatives, making the unit a poor fit for buyers who want more storage in the same 1U height. No operating system is included, so factor installation time into deployment planning.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the H240 controller support for the 8 SFF drive bays?

The Smart HBA H240 handles RAID 0, 1 and 5 across the eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA bays.

How many DDR4 DIMM slots are free for expansion beyond the installed 64GB?

Sixteen slots exist in total, eight per processor, so the number of free slots depends on the current 64GB population.

Does the H240 controller require a separate cable kit when adding drives to the 8 SFF bays?

The 12Gb SAS H240 connects to the backplane; no extra cables are mentioned for the eight included trays.
