Balanced 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 ten-core processors running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and two 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives managed by the onboard B140i software RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1 and 5. Redundant hot-swap 550 W power supplies and eight SFF drive bays complete the package.

General-purpose workloads, not high-density storage

This server suits teams running virtualisation, cloud or general-purpose applications that benefit from twenty physical cores and forty threads in a single rack unit. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays, hardware RAID acceleration or SAS connectivity should look at a different platform.

B140i software RAID limited to SATA

The installed B140i controller handles only SATA devices and provides RAID 0, 1 and 5 without a dedicated cache or battery backup. This single specification decides whether the server can meet your storage reliability and performance requirements.

Questions about this item

How do I install the two 1 TB 2.5-inch SATA drives into the 8-bay SFF chassis and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into its tray until the latch clicks, insert the tray into a front bay until it locks, then enable RAID 0, 1 or 5 in the B140i BIOS utility before installing an OS.

What maintenance will the 550 W hot-swap power supply and system fans need over time?

The redundant hot-swap power modules and fan assemblies can be replaced individually while the server runs; clean dust from the front intake and rear exhaust vents every few months.

What limit appears first when both E5-2650 v3 CPUs run sustained workloads at 2.3 GHz?

The B140i software RAID controller supports only SATA drives at 6 Gbps, so storage throughput saturates before the 40-thread CPU capacity is reached.
