Dual-socket 1U server for dense compute

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 fits two Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors into a single rack unit, providing twenty physical cores and forty threads. Eight gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory ship installed across the sixteen available DIMM slots. Two 1 TB 7.2K SAS drives connect through the Smart HBA H240 controller with RAID 0, 1 and 5 support. Redundant hot-swap power supplies keep the platform running during module replacement.

Sustained load behaviour in a 1U chassis

Dual 10-core CPUs at 2.3 GHz maintain throughput across virtualised or multi-threaded workloads without the thermal throttling common in smaller enclosures. The H240 controller delivers 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA bandwidth to the drive bays, so storage latency stays predictable when queues build. Sixteen DIMM slots allow memory to scale with the working set, keeping swap activity low during extended runs. Redundant 550 W supplies share the load evenly, reducing stress on any single unit.

Sixteen DDR4 slots decide the upgrade path

Memory capacity tops out at 1 TB only when every slot is populated with 64 GB modules, so buyers who need more than 8 GB today must plan a full DIMM replacement. The H240 controller lacks RAID 6 or 60, so arrays larger than two drives cannot survive a second simultaneous disk failure. Eight 2.5-inch bays limit raw capacity compared with 3.5-inch alternatives, and the Matrox G200 graphics provide only basic console output.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise will the 550 W redundant power supplies and dual 10-core 2.3 GHz Xeons generate under 24/7 load?

Dual 10-core 2.3 GHz Xeons and two 550 W hot-swap power supplies in a 1U chassis produce significant heat and fan noise; expect data-centre acoustics, not office-quiet operation.

Which rack rails, cabling and operating system must I already have to install this 1U server?

You need compatible 1U rack rails, SAS cables for the 2.5" drives and a supported OS; the unit ships without rails, media bay or operating system.

Can the H240 controller and 16 DDR4 slots work with my existing 6 Gbps SAS drives and 2400 MT/s ECC RDIMMs?

Yes, the H240 supports 12 Gbps SAS and 6 Gbps SATA RAID 0/1/5, and the 16 slots accept DDR4 ECC RDIMMs up to 2400 MT/s.
