HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U 2× Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6GHz 16GB DDR4 2× 600GB SAS H240ar

Compact dual-socket server for dense racks

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 fits a dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 configuration into a 1U chassis, delivering 16 physical cores and 32 threads at 2.6 GHz. It targets workloads that need high core density in minimal rack space, such as virtualisation hosts or database nodes. The 24 DDR4 slots support up to 3 TB of ECC registered memory, though only 16 GB is installed initially.

Redundant power and hot-swap cooling

Two 500 W hot-swap power supplies provide full redundancy without shutting down the system. Eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays accept 15 K rpm drives that generate significant heat, so the chassis uses multiple high-speed fans that become audible under sustained load. Power draw scales with both CPU utilisation and the number of spinning drives installed.

H240ar controller enables hardware RAID

The Smart HBA H240ar adds 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA connectivity with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, offloading parity calculations from the CPUs. Two 600 GB 15 K SAS drives are included, offering fast sequential throughput for operating system or scratch volumes. The Matrox G200 graphics provides only basic console output, so a discrete GPU is required for any graphical workload.
