HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2623 v3 4GB 2×1TB SAS H240

1U rack server with Xeon E5-2623 v3

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for data-centre workloads that need dense compute in a single rack unit. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2623 v3 quad-core processor running at 3 GHz and 4 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. The chassis supports a second processor and up to 16 DIMM slots for future expansion. Two 1 TB 7.2 K SAS drives and an H240 Smart HBA provide RAID 0, 1 or 5 storage out of the box.

Redundant 550 W power and 8-bay cooling

Dual hot-swap 550 W power supplies deliver N+1 redundancy while the 8-bay SFF chassis directs airflow across the drives and CPU without excess fan speed. The Matrox G200 graphics chip draws minimal power for remote management consoles. Under typical mixed workloads the system runs within the thermal envelope of a standard cold-aisle rack row, keeping acoustic output low enough for shared equipment rooms.

Sustained load across 36 cores and 1 TB memory

With both processor sockets populated the platform scales to 36 total cores and 1 TB of DDR4-2400 registered ECC memory. The H240 controller maintains 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA throughput during extended RAID rebuilds or sequential database scans. Memory bandwidth and PCIe lanes remain balanced across both CPUs, so performance does not throttle when all DIMM slots are filled and drive bays are active for hours.
