HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for dense compute environments. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz and 4 GB of DDR4 memory. Eight 146 GB 15K SAS drives and an H240 controller provide high-speed local storage in a compact form factor.

Suits single-socket workloads with fast SAS storage

This configuration fits buyers who need a ready-to-run 1U platform with eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated by 15K SAS drives and RAID 0/1/5 support. It does not suit buyers who require a second processor installed, who need solid-state drives from the factory, or who want an operating system included.

Eight 146 GB 15K SAS drives with H240 RAID

The storage subsystem is the deciding specification: eight 146 GB 15 000 rpm SAS drives connect to the Smart HBA H240 controller supporting RAID 0, 1 and 5. If your workload demands this exact drive count, speed and interface, the server matches the requirement; otherwise, a different drive configuration should be chosen.

Questions about this item

How do I install the second processor in this 1U server, and which step is often missed?

Insert the additional Xeon E5-2603 v3 into the second socket, populate its eight DIMM slots with matching DDR4 modules, and apply the second heatsink; the step most people miss is fitting the second processor power cable from the 550 W supply.

What maintenance will the eight 146 GB 15K SAS drives need later?

The 15K SAS drives are the primary wear items; plan to replace any that develop read errors or exceed their rated workload, and keep a spare 2.5 inch SAS drive on hand for quick hot-swap rebuilds.

Which limit appears first when the H240 controller runs sustained RAID 5 parity writes?

The H240 12Gb SAS link and the 15K drive write speed become the bottleneck before the single 1.6 GHz six-core processor saturates, so sustained parity rebuilds run at drive throughput.
