HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2603 v3 1.6 GHz 6-core 32 GB DDR4 2 × 146 GB SAS H240

1U rack server with single Xeon E5-2603 v3

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across 16 DIMM slots. Two 146 GB 15K SAS drives and an H240 Smart HBA controller provide the baseline storage subsystem.

Suits dense compute clusters needing balanced core

This configuration fits environments that value rack density and redundant hot-swap power over maximum core density. The 32 GB memory ceiling and single-socket layout limit virtualisation density and large in-memory databases, so buyers planning heavy consolidation or multi-socket scaling should evaluate larger platforms.

Storage controller caps RAID at levels 0, 1 and 5

The H240 Smart HBA supports RAID 0, 1 and 5 across the eight 2.5-inch SFF drive bays. RAID 6 or 60 is not available on this controller, so arrays requiring dual-parity protection need a different HBA or a software-based approach.
