Balanced 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for general-purpose workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. Dual 1 TB SAS drives and an H240 controller provide baseline storage. Redundant hot-swap power supplies support uptime requirements.

Suits density-focused deployments.

This configuration fits environments that need a compact, balanced server for virtualization, file serving, or light database work. The single CPU and 8 GB memory limit heavy compute or large in-memory datasets. The Matrox G200 graphics and lack of GPU slots rule out accelerated workloads. The eight 2.5-inch bays cap internal drive count at eight.

16 DDR4 DIMM slots define memory ceiling

The board provides 16 DDR4 DIMM slots, eight per processor socket, supporting registered ECC modules up to 64 GB each. Maximum installed capacity reaches 1 TB when both CPU sockets are populated. Memory speed scales to 2400 MT/s depending on the processor installed. This slot count and DDR4 requirement are the decisive factors for upgrade planning.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5" drive bays does the 1U chassis provide?

The server has 8 SFF bays for 2.5" SAS drives, and the two installed 1 TB drives come with their trays.

Which slot does the H240 controller occupy, and what cable mistake should I avoid?

The H240 uses a dedicated internal slot; connect its mini-SAS cables to the backplane, not to the motherboard SATA ports.

When a drive fails in the RAID 1 pair, what exact replacement do I need?

Replace it with another 2.5" 1 TB 7.2K 6Gbps SAS drive and the H240 will rebuild the mirror automatically.
