HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U Rack Server E5-2650 v3 10C 2.3GHz 32GB DDR4 2x 500GB SATA B140i

Balanced 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. It targets organisations that need a dense, general-purpose platform for virtualisation, cloud or standard business workloads in a single rack unit.

Redundant power and eight SFF bays

Two hot-swap 550 W supplies provide redundancy while the chassis holds eight 2.5-inch SFF drive bays, currently populated with two 500 GB 7.2K SATA drives. The onboard B140i controller supports RAID 0, 1 and 5 for SATA devices only, and sixteen DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to the processor limit.

Upgrade from single-socket or non-redundant systems

This server replaces older single-socket towers or 1U boxes that lack redundant power and have fewer drive bays. The jump is worth it when workloads demand ECC memory integrity, hot-swap storage and the ability to add a second processor for up to thirty-six total cores.
