Compact 1U rack server for balanced workloads

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor at 2.4 GHz with 16 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. Two 1 TB 7.2K SATA drives connect through the B140i software RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1 and 5. Redundant hot-swap 550 W power supplies keep the chassis running in standard racks.

Upgrade from single-socket towers

Adding a second Xeon E5 v3 CPU doubles the core count to 36 and unlocks the remaining eight DIMM slots for up to 1 TB of memory. The jump is worth it when virtualisation density or memory-heavy databases outgrow the single-processor configuration and the 8-bay SFF chassis still has free drive bays.

Steady throughput under constant multi-threaded load

The B140i controller handles sustained SATA RAID I/O without a hardware cache, so write-heavy workloads settle at the drives' 6 Gbps link speed. Dual 550 W supplies share the load evenly, and the 1U airflow design maintains stable temperatures during extended compile farms or backup windows. No operating system is included.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the 1U chassis provide?

The 1U rack chassis provides eight small-form-factor bays for 2.5-inch SATA drives, and the two included 1 TB drives occupy two of them.

What is the correct order for seating the DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs in the 16 slots?

Populate the eight slots belonging to the installed processor first, following the channel sequence shown on the air-baffle label, before adding a second CPU and its eight slots.

When should the 550 W hot-swap power supply be replaced?

Replace the 550 W hot-swap unit when the iLO health LED shows amber or the system logs report a power-supply fault, and swap it while the server remains powered on.
