HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2640 v3 8C 2.6GHz 8GB DDR4 4x 300GB 15K SAS H240ar

Dense 1U rack server for virtualised workloads

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.6 GHz with 8 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Four 300 GB 15 K SAS drives connect through a Smart HBA H240ar controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two hot-swap 500 W power supplies provide redundancy in a 1U chassis.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput

The eight physical cores and sixteen threads maintain steady performance under continuous virtualisation or database loads without the frequency drops seen in short bursts. DDR4 memory operates up to 2400 MT/s depending on the installed processor, and the 12 Gb SAS controller keeps drive latency predictable during prolonged I/O. Redundant power supplies share the load so neither unit runs at its thermal limit for long periods.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your rack provides 1U of vertical space and that the 3.5-inch drive bays match your cabling plan. Confirm the DDR4 ECC registered modules you intend to add are rated for 2400 MT/s and that the H240ar controller firmware supports the RAID level you require. Ensure the facility power distribution can supply two 500 W supplies on separate circuits for full redundancy.
