HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 4-bay LFF Xeon E5-2643 v3 3.4GHz 96GB 2x 1TB SAS

Dense 1U rack server for space-constrained workloads

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack-mount server built for environments where rack space is limited. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor running at 3.4GHz and 96GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. Two 1TB 7.2K SAS drives and a Smart HBA H240ar controller provide storage, while dual 500W redundant power supplies support uptime.

Tool-less rails and hot-swap components simplify

The chassis uses tool-less sliding rails for rack installation and features hot-swap drive bays and power supplies that can be serviced without downtime. Memory population rules require matching DIMMs per processor channel; incorrect placement will halt boot. The H240ar controller must be configured in the UEFI or Smart Storage Administrator before arrays become visible to the OS installer.

Suits virtualisation hosts

This configuration fits teams consolidating VMs or running memory-intensive databases in a single rack unit. Buyers who need more than two large-form-factor drives should look elsewhere, as the chassis only provides four 3.5-inch bays. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration will not find PCIe slots suited to double-width cards in this 1U form factor.
