ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for density-focused deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors at 1.6 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The B140i software RAID controller manages SATA drives in RAID 0, 1 or 5. Redundant hot-swap 550 W power supplies and an embedded dual-port 1 Gb Ethernet adapter complete the baseline configuration.

Suits SATA-only storage and light compute

This system suits buyers who need a compact 1U chassis with eight 2.5-inch SFF bays for SATA hard drives or SSDs and a supported maximum of 36 total cores across two sockets. The 16 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 1 TB using DDR4 modules up to 2400 MT/s. It is not suited for workloads that require a hardware RAID controller with cache, or for configurations that depend on SAS drive connectivity through the integrated B140i controller.

B140i controller limited to SATA RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the B140i software RAID controller, which supports only SATA drives in RAID 0, 1 and 5. If the deployment requires SAS drive attachment, hardware RAID acceleration, or RAID levels beyond those three, this server will not meet the requirement. Buyers who need those storage features should evaluate other platforms.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" drives into the 8 SFF bays and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into its tray, secure the screws supplied with the tray, then insert the tray until the latch clicks; the step often missed is tightening the tray screws before insertion, which can leave the drive loose.

What maintenance will the 550W redundant hot-swap power supplies need over time?

The redundant hot-swap design lets you replace a failed 550W unit without shutting down; plan to swap a module if its status LED turns amber or the system logs a power-supply fault.

What limit appears first when the dual Xeon E5-2603 v3 CPUs run sustained workloads?

The installed 8GB DDR4 across 16 DIMM slots fills quickly, so memory capacity becomes the first bottleneck before the 1.6GHz six-core processors reach full utilisation.
