HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2640 v3 8C 2.6GHz 96GB 2x 146GB SAS H240ar

Server identity

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack server fitted with a single Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.6GHz. It ships with 96GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots and two 146GB 15K 6Gbps SAS drives managed by a Smart HBA H240ar controller. Dual 500W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy in a compact form factor.

Fit and gaps

This server suits environments that need dense compute with redundant power and hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 on SAS or SATA drives. The eight 2.5-inch SFF bays limit internal storage count, and the single processor leaves half the memory channels and the second CPU socket unpopulated. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays or who need a second processor for additional cores and memory bandwidth should consider other platforms.

Deciding specification

The installed memory ceiling is 96GB, matching the current population across 24 slots. Expanding beyond this figure requires replacing modules with higher-capacity DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs and adding a second processor to unlock the remaining slots and reach the platform maximum.
