HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2643 v3 6C 3.4GHz 128GB DDR4 B140i 8 SFF

1U rack server with E5-2643 v3

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack-mount system built around a single six-core Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 processor running at 3.4GHz. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes an embedded B140i controller for SATA RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10. Dual 500W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy in a dense chassis.

Eight SFF drive bays for dense storage

This configuration suits environments that need high compute density in a single rack unit, such as virtualisation hosts, database nodes or web-tier clusters. The eight 2.5-inch bays accept SATA drives managed by the B140i controller. Buyers who require hardware RAID acceleration, SAS drive support or more than eight internal drives should look at a model with a dedicated controller and expanded backplane.

Memory capacity fixed at 128GB

The installed 128GB of DDR4 matches the maximum capacity supported by the single-processor configuration, leaving no headroom for future memory upgrades without adding a second CPU. Organisations planning to scale memory beyond this limit must budget for the additional processor and corresponding DIMMs.
