HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2623 v3 128GB 2x 146GB SAS H240

Rack server for general workloads

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2623 v3 quad-core processor running at 3 GHz. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across its 16 DIMM slots. Two 146 GB 15K SAS drives connect to a Smart HBA H240 controller supporting RAID 0, 1 and 5. Redundant hot-swap 550 W power supplies are included.

Suits dense compute; not for massive local storage

This configuration fits environments that need high memory capacity and fast processor performance in a shallow rack footprint. The eight SFF drive bays limit raw capacity compared with larger chassis, so buyers who need many terabytes of spinning media should consider a deeper server. The single-socket layout also means a second processor must be added before the full 36 cores and 1 TB memory ceiling become reachable.

Memory ceiling fixed at 128 GB installed

Although the platform supports up to 1 TB of DDR4 when both sockets are populated and larger modules are used, this unit arrives with every slot filled to reach 128 GB. Any expansion requires removing existing DIMMs, so the installed capacity is the practical ceiling unless the buyer plans a full memory replacement.
