Purpose-built 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server designed for balanced compute and storage in space-constrained data centres. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors at 1.6 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The Smart HBA H240 controller manages two 1 TB 7.2K SAS drives across eight SFF bays. Redundant hot-swap 550 W power supplies are included.

Suited for dense workloads.

This server fits teams needing a compact, two-socket platform for virtualization, web hosting or light database tasks where 16 GB of installed memory is sufficient. Organisations that require the full 1 TB DDR4 capacity or more than eight drive bays from day one should evaluate larger chassis options. The Matrox G200 graphics controller provides basic console output only.

Memory ceiling fixed at 16 GB

The platform supports up to 16 GB total memory across 16 DIMM slots, so no expansion beyond the factory-installed 16 GB is possible. This single limit determines whether the server can grow with your workload or must be replaced when demand increases.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The server includes two Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors, 16 GB DDR4 memory, two 1 TB 2.5-inch SAS drives, a Smart HBA H240 controller supporting RAID 0/1/5, a 550 W power supply and a Matrox G200 GPU. Operating system, additional drives, memory modules and rail kit are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this server?

The system has 16 DIMM slots and supports up to 1 TB total using 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB DDR4 ECC Registered modules up to 2400 MT/s. Actual speed depends on the installed Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors.

What does the 1.6 GHz clock speed mean for real-world performance?

Each of the two six-core Xeon E5-2603 v3 CPUs runs at 1.6 GHz, giving 12 cores total. This base frequency suits multi-threaded workloads such as virtualisation, file serving and database tasks within the 1U chassis.
