  • Dual Xeon E5-2603v3 CPUs deliver 12 total cores for multi-thread workloads
  • 32GB DDR4 ECC memory ensures data integrity across 16 DIMM slots
  • 2x 1TB 7.2K SAS drives provide redundant storage on Smart HBA H240

  • Redundant 550W hot-swap power supplies maintain uptime during maintenance

Balanced 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 fits a single rack unit and ships with two Xeon E5-2603v3 six-core processors at 1.6GHz. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory are installed across the 16 DIMM slots. Two 1TB 7.2K SAS drives connect through the Smart HBA H240 controller with RAID 0, 1 or 5 support.

Thermals and power

Redundant hot-swap 550W power supplies share the load and allow replacement without downtime. The 1U chassis uses managed airflow to keep the dual-socket Intel C610 platform stable under typical mixed workloads. Acoustic output remains within expectations for a rack-mount server in a cooled data-centre aisle.

Memory ceiling

Maximum supported capacity is 32GB with the current processor configuration, so the installed 32GB already fills every available slot. Buyers who need more memory must choose a different CPU model that unlocks the higher 1TB platform limit.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5-inch SAS drives into the 8 SFF bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks, then verify the H240 controller detects both 1 TB drives in the BIOS before creating a RAID 0, 1 or 5 volume.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The 550 W power supplies are hot-swap redundant; replace a failed unit without downtime. The 7.2 K SAS drives and system fans are the other field-replaceable parts.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2603v3 CPUs run at 1.6 GHz continuously?

The 550 W power supply caps total system draw, so sustained full-load operation on both six-core processors will hit the power budget before the 1U cooling reaches its limit.
