HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server system built for balanced performance and reliability. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processors running at 1.6 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Storage is handled by an HP Smart HBA H240 controller with two 146 GB 15K SAS drives installed in an eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Suits general-purpose and cloud workloads

This server suits general-purpose workloads and cloud deployments needing up to 36 total cores and 1 TB of DDR4 memory across 16 DIMM slots. It supports RAID 0, 1 and 5 through the H240 controller. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays, integrated GPU compute, or persistent memory options should evaluate larger chassis configurations.

Dual Xeon E5-2603 v3 1.6 GHz processors

The installed dual Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors provide twelve total cores at 1.6 GHz, defining the baseline compute capacity. Memory speed scales with processor capability up to 2400 MT/s. The 550 W redundant hot-swap power supply supports the configured components and allows for future expansion within the 1U form factor.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 8 GB configuration or add more DDR4 modules to reach the 1 TB maximum?

The system ships with 8 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 16 DIMM slots; you can populate the remaining slots with 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB modules up to 2400 MT/s, limited by the Xeon E5-2603 v3 memory controller.

What does the dual Xeon E5-2603 v3 1.6 GHz setup deliver in a live workload?

Two six-core processors at 1.6 GHz provide 12 total cores for multi-threaded tasks such as virtualisation, database or web serving, with actual throughput depending on the application and memory speed populated.

How does the Smart HBA H240 controller’s 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA interface affect drive performance?

The H240 supports 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA links; the installed 146 GB 15K SAS drives run at 6 Gb/s, so the controller’s SAS bandwidth is not the bottleneck for these spindles.
