HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2640 v3 2.6GHz 32GB 4x 1TB SAS H240ar

Dense 1U rack server for space-constrained workloads

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 packs a single Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 eight-core processor at 2.6 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a 1U chassis. Four 3.5-inch 1 TB SAS drives connect through the Smart HBA H240ar controller with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support. The platform targets virtualisation, database and file-serving roles where rack density matters.

Sustained load behaviour

With one CPU installed the server offers eight physical cores and sixteen threads via Hyper-Threading, while the chipset supports a second processor for up to thirty-six total cores. Memory runs at up to 2400 MT/s depending on the processor capability, and the twenty-four DIMM slots allow expansion to 3 TB when both sockets are populated. The 7.2 K RPM SAS drives deliver consistent throughput for sequential workloads rather than burst-oriented IOPS.

Dual 500 W redundant supplies handle power

Two hot-swap 500 W power supplies provide N+1 redundancy, so the system remains operational if one unit fails. The 1U form factor uses high-speed internal fans that ramp under load; acoustic output rises with sustained CPU utilisation but remains within typical data-centre limits. Power draw scales with the configured processor count, drive activity and memory population.
