HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2603 v3 1.6 GHz 8 GB DDR4 2×1 TB SAS H240

Balanced 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for general-purpose workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. Dual 1 TB SAS drives and an H240 controller provide baseline storage. Redundant hot-swap power supplies support uptime requirements.

Suits density-focused deployments.

This configuration fits environments that need a compact, balanced server for virtualization, file serving, or light database work. The single CPU and 8 GB memory limit heavy compute or large in-memory datasets. The Matrox G200 graphics and lack of GPU slots rule out accelerated workloads. The eight 2.5-inch bays cap internal drive count at eight.

16 DDR4 DIMM slots define memory ceiling

The board provides 16 DDR4 DIMM slots, eight per processor socket, supporting registered ECC modules up to 64 GB each. Maximum installed capacity reaches 1 TB when both CPU sockets are populated. Memory speed scales to 2400 MT/s depending on the processor installed. This slot count and DDR4 requirement are the decisive factors for upgrade planning.
