HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2650 v3 10C 2.3GHz 4GB DDR4 B140i

Compact 1U rack server for balanced workloads

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz with 4 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets organisations that need a space-efficient platform for cloud, virtualisation or general-purpose tasks. The chassis supports a second processor and up to 1 TB of total memory across sixteen DIMM slots.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput

Under continuous load the ten physical cores and twenty threads maintain steady performance for parallel applications such as virtualised hosts or batch processing. The B140i software RAID controller handles SATA drives in RAID 0, 1 or 5 without a hardware cache, so write-heavy workloads rely on the processor and system memory. Sixteen DIMM slots allow memory capacity to scale with demand.

Redundant 550 W power and basic graphics

Dual hot-swap 550 W supplies share the load and provide failover without shutdown, keeping the 1U enclosure powered during maintenance. The Matrox G200 controller with 16 MB video memory drives console output only, leaving all PCIe lanes free for storage or network cards. Eight 2.5-inch SFF bays accept SAS or SATA drives for flexible capacity.
