Compact 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rackmount server system built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 146 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a Smart HBA H240 controller supporting RAID 0, 1 and 5. Redundant hot-swap 550 W power supplies and eight small-form-factor drive bays complete the package for general-purpose deployment.

Suited for balanced compute and storage

This configuration fits environments that need a compact server with redundant power and hardware RAID for mixed workloads such as virtualization hosts, file services or cloud nodes. It is not for buyers who require more than 64 GB of installed memory, additional CPU sockets populated, GPU-accelerated compute or storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA.

Maximum memory capped at 64 GB

The system board provides 16 DIMM slots but the installed 64 GB already reaches the supported maximum for this model, leaving no room for future memory expansion without replacing modules.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single E5-2603 v3 or add a second processor?

The server supports up to two processors; adding a second E5-2603 v3 doubles core count to 12 and unlocks the remaining 8 DIMM slots for memory expansion beyond the installed 64 GB.

What does the 1.6 GHz clock mean for real workloads?

The six-core Xeon runs at a fixed 1.6 GHz, giving predictable throughput for lightly threaded tasks such as web serving or file hosting while keeping power draw low in the 1U chassis.

How does the H240 controller’s 12 Gb SAS link affect drive speed?

The H240 provides a 12 Gb SAS back-end, but the installed 146 GB 15K drives are 6 Gb SAS, so each drive is capped at 6 Gbps; the extra headroom benefits future faster SAS SSDs.
