HP ProLiant DL360 G9 1U rack server E5-2643v3 3.4GHz 6-core 8GB DDR4 H240ar 4 LFF bays

1U rack server for dense compute

The HP ProLiant DL360 G9 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2643v3 six-core processor running at 3.4 GHz with 8 GB of DDR4 ECC memory in a 1U chassis. It targets workloads that need high core density in limited rack space, such as virtualisation hosts or database nodes. Buyers who require dual-processor performance or more than 8 GB of memory out of the box should look elsewhere.

H240ar controller and 4 LFF bays

The Smart HBA H240ar provides 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA connectivity with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 support across four 3.5-inch drive bays. No drives are included, so storage capacity and redundancy depend entirely on the disks you add. The embedded 331i adapter supplies four 1 Gb Ethernet ports, limiting network throughput to that speed.

Slide rails and redundant power

The server ships with two hot-swap 500 W redundant power supplies and slide rails for standard rack mounting. Installation is straightforward: secure the rails, seat the unit, connect power and networking, then populate memory and drives. Common issues include forgetting to install the second processor kit for full DIMM access and mismatching DDR4 speeds across the 24 slots.
