HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U Rack Server E5-2623 v3 8GB 2x 1TB SAS H240

Balanced 1U rack server for cloud

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2623 v3 quad-core processor running at 3 GHz with 8 GB of DDR4 ECC memory installed across 16 DIMM slots. Dual hot-swap 550 W power supplies provide redundancy in a 1U chassis that holds eight 2.5-inch drive bays. The Smart HBA H240 controller manages SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0, 1 and 5 support for general-purpose deployments.

Upgrade from single-socket or non-redundant systems

Moving from a tower or single-processor rack unit without redundant power adds a second processor socket supporting up to 36 total cores across the E5-2600 v3 and v4 families and expands memory capacity to 1 TB. The jump is worthwhile when workloads need hot-swap drive bays, dual power supplies and the ability to scale beyond the installed 8 GB and two 1 TB 7.2 K SAS drives.

Steady throughput with redundant power and SAS

Under sustained load the dual 550 W supplies share the load so one can fail without interruption, while the H240 controller maintains RAID protection across the 6 Gbps SAS drives. DDR4 memory runs up to 2400 MT/s depending on the processor, and the Matrox G200 graphics handles basic console output without consuming compute resources. The 1U form factor keeps airflow predictable in dense racks.
