HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server

This HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen DIMM slots. Dual 146 GB 15K SAS drives and an H240 Smart HBA provide the storage foundation.

Suited for balanced compute and storage density

The platform supports a second Xeon processor to reach 36 total cores and 1 TB of memory, making it appropriate for virtualisation hosts or database nodes needing high core counts. Redundant hot-swap power supplies improve uptime for production environments. Organisations requiring installed SSD storage, GPU compute or more than eight drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

Single Xeon E5-2650 v3 with 128 GB DDR4

The installed processor delivers ten physical cores and twenty threads via hyper-threading at a 2.3 GHz base frequency. Memory runs at up to 2400 MT/s ECC registered across sixteen slots, currently populated to the 128 GB maximum for this single-CPU configuration. This CPU and memory combination determines the server's immediate capacity for concurrent workloads.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum DDR4 memory capacity supported by the 16 DIMM slots?

The server supports a maximum of 128 GB across 16 DIMM slots, with each processor managing eight slots at speeds up to 2400 MT/s depending on the installed Xeon E5-2650 v3 capability.

Which component determines the storage throughput ceiling when all eight SFF bays are populated with SAS drives?

The HP Smart HBA H240 controller caps RAID throughput at 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA, making it the limiting interface before the 15 K rpm drives reach their own transfer limits.

How much heat does the 550 W redundant power supply dissipate when the single Xeon E5-2650 v3 runs at full load continuously?

With one 10-core Xeon E5-2650 v3 at 2.3 GHz and 128 GB DDR4, the 550 W hot-swap supply typically draws well below its rated capacity, keeping exhaust temperatures within standard 1U rack limits.
