HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2603v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz. It ships with 4GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 1TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by a B140i software RAID controller supporting levels 0, 1 and 5. Redundant hot-swap 550W power supplies are included for continuous operation.

Suits small workloads needing SATA RAID

This server fits environments that require a compact rack footprint with internal SATA storage redundancy. Buyers who need hardware RAID acceleration, SAS connectivity or more than 4GB of memory from the factory should evaluate other platforms. The B140i controller handles SATA drives only, so SAS expansion relies on a separate controller. Workloads demanding higher single-thread performance or larger core counts will need a different processor configuration.

B140i software RAID supports SATA only

The onboard B140i controller provides RAID 0, 1 and 5 for SATA devices and does not support SAS drives on its ports. Adding SAS storage requires installing a compatible hardware RAID card in a PCIe slot. This constraint defines which drive types can be used directly with the integrated controller.

Questions about this item

How do I install an additional processor in the second socket of this DL160 Gen9, and which step is most often missed?

Insert the second Xeon into the empty socket, then populate its eight dedicated DDR4 DIMM slots; the step most often missed is adding memory for the new CPU, leaving those slots empty and the second processor idle.

Which component will need replacement first under continuous 24/7 operation in this server?

The two 1 TB 7.2K 2.5-inch SATA drives are the likeliest early replacement; mechanical disks wear faster than the 550 W power supply, fans, or the Matrox G200 graphics.

What limit appears first when the B140i software RAID handles sustained write workloads?

The B140i software RAID is SATA-only and relies on the single Xeon E5-2603 v3 at 1.6 GHz; its CPU overhead becomes the bottleneck before the 6 Gbps SATA interface or the 550 W power supply.
