HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2670 v3 12C 2.3GHz 4GB DDR4 2x 1TB SAS H240ar

1U rack server with Xeon E5-2670 v3

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built around a twelve-core Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 processor at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 4 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 1 TB 7.2 K 3.5-inch SAS drives. The Smart HBA H240ar controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across four LFF drive bays. Dual 500 W redundant hot-swap power supplies are included.

Suits dense compute or storage nodes.

This server fits environments that need high core counts in a single rack unit, such as virtualisation hosts, database nodes or near-line storage. The Matrox G200 graphics provide only basic console output, so buyers who need GPU acceleration for compute or rendering should look elsewhere. The single-processor configuration leaves one socket empty for future expansion, while the 24 DIMM slots allow memory to scale well beyond the installed 4 GB.

Needs rack rails, OS and memory to match

The 1U chassis requires compatible rack rails and a cabinet with adequate airflow for the redundant power supplies. An operating system must be supplied separately. The H240ar controller handles SAS and SATA drives, freeing PCIe slots for additional networking or storage adapters. Memory speed will depend on the processor capability, so populating the remaining DIMM slots with matched DDR4 modules ensures optimal throughput.
