Balanced 1U rack server for general workloads

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3GHz. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 memory and two 500GB 7.2K SATA drives managed by the B140i software RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1 and 5. Redundant hot-swap 550W power supplies and eight SFF drive bays provide a compact foundation for cloud and general-purpose deployments.

Suits buyers wanting a dense.

This server fits organisations that need up to 36 cores across two sockets, up to 1TB of DDR4 across 16 DIMM slots and flexible 2.5-inch drive configurations. It is not for buyers who require a hardware RAID controller, drives faster than SATA on the primary controller, or a discrete graphics processor beyond the integrated Matrox G200.

B140i software RAID limited to SATA drives

The onboard B140i controller only manages SATA devices in RAID 0, 1 or 5 and does not accelerate SAS or other interfaces. This single specification decides whether the storage subsystem matches the workload; environments needing hardware RAID or broader drive support must add a dedicated controller.

Questions about this item

How do I install the second Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor, and what step is often missed?

Insert the second CPU into the empty socket, apply thermal paste, attach its heatsink, then populate the eight DIMM slots belonging to that processor so memory is balanced across both CPUs.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The two 500 GB 7.2K SATA drives and the 550 W hot-swap power supply are the primary field-replaceable units; fans and DIMMs are also serviceable.

What limit appears first when the B140i controller runs sustained RAID 5 writes?

The B140i software RAID engine and the 6 Gbps SATA link to the 7.2K drives become the throughput bottleneck before the CPU or DDR4 memory saturate.
