Balanced 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for general-purpose workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors running at 1.6 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 memory. Storage is handled by an HP Smart HBA H240 controller with two 600 GB 15K SAS drives. Redundant hot-swap power supplies support continuous operation.

Suits virtualisation and cloud hosts.

This configuration fits virtualisation hosts, cloud nodes or database servers that need dense compute in a single rack unit. The Matrox G200 graphics controller provides basic display output only, so the server is not suited to workloads requiring GPU acceleration. Eight SFF bays limit internal drive count, and the installed memory matches the processor maximum of 32 GB.

Max memory capped at 32 GB with these CPUs

The installed Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors restrict total memory capacity to 32 GB despite the chassis offering 16 DIMM slots. Upgrading beyond this limit requires replacing the CPUs with models that support higher densities. Buyers planning larger memory footprints should verify processor compatibility before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the server include an operating system or must one be purchased separately?

No operating system is included; the server ships without any OS installed.

The listing shows 32 GB installed and a maximum of 1 TB — which capacity should I choose for my workload?

The installed 32 GB uses DDR4 ECC registered modules across 16 DIMM slots; add matching DDR4 modules up to the 1 TB limit if your workload needs more memory.

What does the 1.6 GHz clock speed of the dual E5-2603 v3 processors mean for real-world performance?

Each of the two Xeon E5-2603 v3 CPUs has six cores running at 1.6 GHz, providing 12 total cores for multi-threaded server workloads.
