Built for dense compute

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server designed for environments that need balanced processing and storage in minimal space. It suits IT teams running virtualisation hosts, database nodes or cloud workloads where core density and drive count matter more than GPU acceleration. The single-socket configuration keeps licensing costs lower while still supporting a second processor when demand grows.

Memory ceiling fixed at 32 GB

This unit ships with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and the specification lists the maximum capacity as 32 GB across 16 DIMM slots. That limit is set by the installed Xeon E5-2623 v3 processor, so additional modules cannot increase usable RAM. Buyers who need more memory per socket must choose a different CPU or platform.

Steady throughput over burst speed

Dual 1 TB 7.2K SAS drives and the Smart HBA H240 controller deliver consistent 6 Gbps bandwidth for sustained read and write streams rather than peak IOPS. The 550 W redundant hot-swap power supplies maintain operation during extended loads without thermal throttling. Workloads that demand high sustained disk throughput will benefit more than those relying on short random-access bursts.

Questions about this item

What does the E5-2623 v3 quad-core processor deliver in this single-CPU configuration?

The installed E5-2623 v3 quad-core processor runs at 3 GHz and provides eight threads through hyper-threading. This single-CPU setup uses one of two possible sockets and supports the installed 32 GB of DDR4 memory across eight DIMM slots.

What does the H240 controller's 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA rating mean for drive speed?

The Smart HBA H240 controller supports 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA links. The two installed 1 TB SAS drives operate at 6 Gbps and 7.2 K rpm, so their sustained transfer rate is limited by the drive interface rather than the controller's 12 Gb SAS capability.

How many 2.5-inch drive bays are available in this 1U rack chassis?

The chassis provides eight SFF 2.5-inch drive bays. Two bays are occupied by the installed 1 TB SAS drives, leaving six bays free for additional 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives.
