HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2620 v3 6C 2.4GHz 16GB DDR4 H240ar 8 SFF

Purpose-built 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack-mount server system designed for dense compute workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 six-core processor running at 2.4GHz and 16GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to two processors and 24 DIMM slots for significant expansion. An integrated Matrox G200 GPU provides basic video output with 16MB of video memory.

Check compatibility before ordering

Verify that your rack provides standard 1U mounting rails and sufficient depth for this chassis. Confirm the 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA backplane matches your intended drive protocol, as the Smart HBA H240ar controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 across eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Ensure your environment can supply power to dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies. No operating system or storage drives are included with the unit.

Build quality and daily implications

Redundant hot-swap power supplies allow maintenance without downtime, while the eight small-form-factor drive bays sit behind a tool-less front bezel for quick drive changes. The H240ar controller uses a dedicated internal connector, leaving PCIe slots free for additional I/O cards. Front-panel LEDs give immediate health status for power, fans, and drives, and the 1U height keeps cable routing tidy in dense rack rows.
