HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 8-bay SFF Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.4GHz 4GB 2×146GB SAS H240ar

1U rack server for dense compute

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 fits a single Xeon E5-2620 v3 six-core processor at 2.4GHz with 4GB of DDR4 memory into a 1U chassis. Eight small-form-factor SAS bays and an H240ar controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 make it suited to storage-heavy workloads in space-constrained racks. Dual 500W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

Tool-less rails and hot-swap bays

The server slides into a standard rack on tool-less rails and the eight 2.5-inch drive bays accept SAS or SATA drives without shutting down. The H240ar controller is pre-cabled to the backplane so no internal routing is required. Memory expansion uses 24 DDR4 DIMM slots arranged twelve per processor; mixing capacities is supported but speed will match the slowest installed module. A second processor kit must be added before populating the second bank of twelve slots.

Steady throughput under load

With two 146GB 15K SAS drives the array delivers consistent sequential bandwidth for database logs or virtualisation storage. The H240ar maintains RAID parity calculations across all supported levels without throttling during sustained writes. Redundant 500W supplies share load evenly so a single supply failure does not reduce available power to the CPU or drive backplane. The Matrox G200 graphics controller consumes minimal power leaving the thermal envelope for compute.
