HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2603 v3 1.6GHz 128GB DDR4 2x 1TB SATA B140i

Balanced 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a compact 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 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Two 1 TB 7.2 K 2.5-inch SATA drives and a B140i software RAID controller provide baseline storage redundancy. Redundant hot-swap 550 W power supplies support continuous operation.

Suits memory-bound tasks, not heavy compute

This configuration suits buyers who need a dense 1U chassis filled to its 128 GB memory ceiling with a single processor installed. The sixteen DIMM slots are fully populated, so no further memory can be added without removing modules. Organisations requiring more than six cores per CPU, a second processor, or hardware RAID with SAS support should evaluate other platforms.

Memory capacity fixed at 128 GB

The installed 128 GB of DDR4 matches the maximum addressable capacity with one E5-2603 v3 processor. All sixteen slots are occupied, so expanding memory requires a second CPU and replacement of existing modules. This hard limit decides whether the server fits workloads that must grow beyond 128 GB.
