HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 rack server 2× E5-2640v3 2.6GHz 16GB DDR4 H240ar 4 LFF

Purpose-built 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rackmount server system fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2640v3 eight-core processors running at 2.6GHz and 16GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It includes an HP Smart HBA H240ar controller supporting SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, plus dual redundant 500W hot-swap power supplies. The chassis provides four 3.5-inch LFF drive bays and an embedded four-port 1Gb Ethernet 331i adapter.

Suited for dense virtualisation and storage.

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and internal SAS or SATA storage in a single rack unit, such as virtualisation hosts, database nodes or backup targets. The Matrox G200 graphics controller with 16MB video memory provides only basic console output, so the server is not appropriate for workloads requiring GPU acceleration, graphics rendering or compute offload. Buyers needing more than four internal drives must add external enclosures.

Four 3.5-inch LFF bays with H240ar RAID controller

The single specification that determines fit is the combination of four large-form-factor drive bays and the Smart HBA H240ar controller offering 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA connectivity with full RAID support. This limits internal capacity to four 3.5-inch hard drives or SSDs while delivering hardware RAID levels up to RAID 60. Verify that four bays satisfy the storage plan before deployment.
