Compact 1U rack server for balanced workloads

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2623 v3 quad-core processor running at 3 GHz with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. Redundant hot-swap power supplies and eight 2.5-inch drive bays support mixed cloud and general-purpose deployments in space-constrained racks.

Single processor limits total cores

Only one CPU is installed, so the system tops out at four physical cores and eight threads with the current 32 GB RAM. Adding a second Xeon would unlock up to 36 total cores and the full 1 TB memory capacity across 16 DIMM slots.

Smart HBA H240 sustains 12 Gb/s SAS throughput

The onboard controller manages the two 600 GB 15K SAS drives in RAID 0, 1 or 5 without a battery-backed cache. Under continuous I/O the 12 Gb/s SAS link and 15K spindles deliver steady bandwidth for database or virtualisation workloads.

Questions about this item

With a single E5-2623 v3 at 3 GHz and 32 GB DDR4 installed, what workloads can this 1U server handle out of the box?

The quad-core processor and 32 GB of DDR4 ECC memory support virtualisation, database and general-purpose workloads within the 1U form factor.

The Smart HBA H240 is listed at 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA — what does that mean for the two installed 600 GB 15 K drives?

The controller connects the SAS drives at their native 6 Gbps link speed and provides RAID 0, 1 or 5 across the two bays.

The chassis has eight 2.5-inch SFF bays but only two drives are fitted — what is needed to populate the remaining six slots?

Six additional 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives with the supplied drive trays can be inserted into the empty bays.
