HPE DL360 Gen9 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2660V3 512GB DDR4 rack server

Dual-socket Xeon 1U rack server

The HPE DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack-mount server built for dense compute workloads. Two Intel Xeon E5-2660V3 processors provide twenty cores at 2.6GHz with 25MB cache each. 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory fills the installed DIMM slots and supports ECC error correction. An HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller manages up to eight 2.5-inch SATA drive bays. Dual 500W flex-slot power supplies and HPE iLO Advanced remote management complete the platform.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits teams running hypervisor clusters, in-memory databases or high-thread-count applications that benefit from dual-socket scaling and large memory capacity. The eight SFF bays allow a mix of SAS and SATA drives behind the P440 controller. Buyers who need more than 768GB maximum memory, more than two processors or a GPU-equipped chassis should evaluate other form factors. The integrated graphics and lack of installed drives also mean a separate storage purchase is required.

512GB DDR4 ECC registered memory

The installed 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is the decisive specification for capacity planning. It occupies the available slots and leaves headroom to the 768GB ceiling for future expansion. The memory type is DDR4 only; other DDR generations are physically and electrically incompatible. Matching this exact memory specification ensures the server posts correctly and maintains ECC protection across all channels.
