HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2630 v3 2.4GHz 8GB DDR4 2×1TB SATA B140i

Balanced 1U rack server for general workloads

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor at 2.4 GHz with 8 GB of DDR4 memory. Two 1 TB 7.2 K SATA drives and a B140i software RAID controller provide redundant storage out of the box. Redundant hot-swap power supplies and an 8-bay SFF chassis allow the system to handle cloud and general-purpose tasks in a compact rack footprint.

Suits buyers needing dense SATA storage

Organisations that want up to 36 cores across two sockets and 16 DIMM slots for future DDR4 expansion will find headroom here. The B140i controller is limited to SATA RAID 0, 1 and 5, so workloads that require hardware RAID acceleration or SAS connectivity should look elsewhere. GPU-dependent tasks are not practical with the integrated Matrox G200 graphics.

Single Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core 2.4 GHz processor

This CPU delivers 16 threads via hyper-threading and defines the memory speed ceiling of 2400 MT/s for the installed DDR4 ECC registered modules. A second processor can be added to double core count and memory channels, but the current configuration ships with one socket populated.
