Compact Rack Server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for organisations that need dense compute in a single rack unit. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors running at 1.6GHz and 8GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across sixteen DIMM slots. The platform supports up to 1TB of total memory when fully populated.

Storage and Expansion

Eight 2.5-inch 146GB 15K SAS drives install directly into the front bays, driven by the Smart HBA H240 controller with 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA connectivity. The controller provides RAID 0, 1 and 5 without occupying a PCIe slot, leaving expansion capacity for additional I/O. Dual redundant hot-swap 550W power supplies maintain uptime during a module failure.

Sustained Operation

The 1U chassis uses directed airflow to cool both processors and the eight 15K drives under continuous load. ECC memory and the Intel C610 chipset protect data integrity during long-running workloads. The Matrox G200 graphics subsystem handles console output without adding thermal load. Buyers who need higher single-thread frequency or larger memory per socket will need a different configuration.

Questions about this item

What is the first limit reached under sustained load?

The installed 8GB DDR4 across 16 slots is the baseline; maximum capacity is 1TB so memory headroom is large.

How loud or hot does it get running all day?

Dual 550W hot-swap supplies with redundant cooling keep the 1U chassis within spec during continuous operation.

What else must I already own for it to work?

You need an operating system and a rack with 1U of space; the server ships without an OS.
