HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2670 v3 12C 2.3GHz 96GB DDR4 H240ar 4 LFF

Dual Xeon E5-2670 v3 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for dense compute workloads. It ships with two twelve-core Xeon E5-2670 v3 processors running at 2.3GHz, providing 24 physical cores and 48 threads. The system includes 96GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across 24 DIMM slots. It targets organisations that need high core counts in a single rack unit.

H240ar RAID controller with four LFF bays

The Smart HBA H240ar adds hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across twelve-gigabit SAS and six-gigabit SATA links. Four large-form-factor drive trays with screws are supplied, but no drives are installed. The controller offloads parity calculations from the CPUs, leaving more cycles for applications. An optional universal media bay can add an optical drive if required.

96GB DDR4 at the processor limit

The installed 96GB matches the maximum memory speed supported by the E5-2670 v3 at 2400MT/s. All 24 DIMM slots are populated, so further expansion requires replacing modules with higher-capacity DDR4 ECC registered sticks up to 64GB each. The Matrox G200 graphics with 16MB video memory provides basic console output only. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or more than 96GB of memory without a DIMM swap should consider other platforms.
