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 into a 1U chassis. It targets buyers who need dense compute for cloud or general-purpose workloads without occupying extra rack units. The platform supports a second processor to double core count when demand grows.

Memory capacity and headroom

Eight gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed across sixteen DIMM slots, eight per processor. The board accepts 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB modules up to 2400 MT/s, although the supplier specification lists a maximum of 8 GB for this configuration. Population beyond the single fitted module requires additional processors and matched DIMMs.

H240 controller and drive limits

The Smart HBA H240 provides 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA connectivity with RAID 0, 1 and 5 support. Eight 2.5-inch SFF bays are cabled to the controller, so the array cannot exceed eight drives without extra backplanes. Boot media and optical drives are absent, so an operating system must be loaded from the SAS/SATA array or a USB device.

Questions about this item

Will the 8 SFF bays and H240 controller accept my existing 2.5" SAS or SATA drives?

Yes, the eight SFF bays take 2.5" drives and the Smart HBA H240 supports 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA with RAID 0/1/5.

How do I verify the single Xeon E5-2650 v3 is running all 10 cores at 2.3GHz after installation?

Check the BIOS/UEFI or OS task manager; you should see 10 physical cores and 20 logical threads at the rated frequency.

Which parts ship with the server and which must I order separately?

The unit includes the 1U chassis, one E5-2650 v3 CPU, 8GB DDR4, H240 controller, 550W power supply, Matrox G200 video and eight drive trays with screws; drives, OS, extra CPUs or memory are not included.
