HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U 2x E5-2620 v3 2.4GHz 96GB DDR4 H240ar 4 LFF

Dense 1U rack server for compute density

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 fits two Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors and 96 GB of DDR4 into a single rack unit. Four large-form-factor drive bays connect to an H240ar controller that supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Dual 500 W redundant power supplies and an embedded four-port 1 GbE adapter complete the baseline platform.

Upgrade from single-socket or smaller-memory systems

Adding the second processor doubles core count to 24 threads with hyper-threading and unlocks the full 24 DIMM slots. The jump is worth it when workloads exceed the memory capacity or thread count of a single-socket box but still fit within the 96 GB ceiling. Buyers who need more storage bays or GPU acceleration will need a different chassis.

Sustained load behaviour in a 1U form factor

Redundant hot-swap power supplies maintain uptime during extended runs while the H240ar manages mixed SAS and SATA traffic at 12 Gb/s and 6 Gb/s respectively. The Matrox G200 with 16 MB video memory handles console output only, leaving all PCIe lanes free for compute. Thermal design targets continuous operation in dense racks without throttling the 2.4 GHz base clock.
