Purpose-built 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server system designed for balanced compute density. It ships with dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors at 2.4 GHz, providing 16 physical cores and 32 threads. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 500 GB 7.2K SATA drives are installed. The B140i controller delivers software RAID levels 0, 1 and 5 for SATA devices only.

Suited workloads and limits

This server suits environments that need redundant hot-swap power and up to eight 2.5-inch SFF drive bays in a single rack unit. The Matrox G200 graphics provide basic display output only. Buyers who require hardware RAID acceleration, SAS drive support from the embedded controller, a discrete GPU for compute or visualisation, or an operating system pre-installed should consider other platforms.

Deciding specification

The installed memory ceiling is 16 GB across 16 DDR4 DIMM slots, with the processor memory controller limiting speed to 2400 MT/s. Expansion beyond this capacity requires a processor upgrade, so memory headroom is the key factor when sizing this chassis for virtualisation or database workloads.

Questions about this item

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

Slide each drive into its tray until the latch clicks, then insert the tray into a bay until the lever locks; the step often missed is securing the lever fully so the drive seats on the backplane.

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

The two 500 GB 7.2K SATA drives and the 550 W power supply are the primary field-replaceable units; fans and DIMMs are also hot-swappable.

What limit appears first when the dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPUs run at full load continuously?

The 550 W power supply rating is the first constraint; sustained full-load draw from both 2.4 GHz processors can approach the supply's capacity.
