HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U Server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server system designed for general-purpose workloads. It arrives new with a single Intel Xeon E5-2623v3 quad-core processor running at 3GHz and 8GB of installed DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch SFF drive bays and includes a 550W redundant hot-swap power supply.

Who This Suits

This server suits buyers needing a compact 1U platform with eight SFF bays and hardware RAID 0, 1, or 5 via the Smart HBA H240 controller. It supports DDR4 ECC registered modules up to 64GB per DIMM across 16 slots, allowing significant memory expansion from the base 8GB configuration.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

Buyers who want drives included in the purchase will not find them here, as no storage devices are installed. Those requiring an operating system pre-loaded must arrange that separately, and workloads needing GPU acceleration are limited to the basic Matrox G200 video output with 16MB memory.

Deciding Specification

The Smart HBA H240 controller provides 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA connectivity with RAID 0, 1, and 5 support, which determines the storage topology and data protection options available for the eight drive bays.

Questions about this item

Will the single E5-2623v3 installed in this 1U chassis leave room for a second processor later?

The socket count is 2, so a second Xeon can be added without removing the first.

How can I verify the Smart HBA H240 is presenting the 8 SFF bays at 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA after installation?

During POST the controller BIOS lists each detected drive with its negotiated link speed; the OS storage utility will then show the same rates.

The listing mentions 8 drive trays with screws — are any drives, caddies or rails included beyond those trays?

Only the 8 trays and screws are supplied; drives, rail kits and any media-bay accessories must be purchased separately.
