ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for balanced compute and storage density. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2603v3 six-core processor at 1.6 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 16 DIMM slots. The chassis holds up to eight 2.5-inch SAS drives and includes a Smart HBA H240 controller supporting RAID 0, 1 and 5. Dual 550 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy.

Sustained load behaviour with E5-2603v3

Under continuous workloads the six-core Xeon E5-2603v3 maintains its 1.6 GHz base frequency without turbo uplift. The 32 GB DDR4 memory runs at speeds determined by the processor capability, up to 2400 MT/s, delivering stable throughput for virtualisation or database tasks. Redundant 550 W power supplies and the 1U airflow design keep temperatures controlled during extended operation. The H240 controller handles steady SAS I/O at 12 Gb/s without thermal throttling.

Practical limits of the SAS interface

The Smart HBA H240 connects drives at 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA, capping sequential throughput to the controller’s lane bandwidth. With eight SFF bays populated the backplane shares aggregate bandwidth across all devices. RAID 5 rebuild times scale with drive capacity and the 7.2 K RPM rotational speed of the installed 1 TB SAS drives. Memory expansion stops at 32 GB per the supplied configuration, though the platform supports up to 1 TB with two processors.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 550W power supply generate when the server runs 24/7?

The redundant 550W supply delivers up to 550W to the E5-2603v3 and drives; all draw becomes heat inside the rack.

What rack hardware must I already have to mount this 1U chassis?

A standard 1U rack slot with front-to-rear airflow and power cords that match the server’s supply.

Can the H240 controller use my existing 6Gbps SAS drives alongside the installed 7.2K drives?

Yes, the H240 supports 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA, so older 6Gbps SAS drives will operate at their native speed.
