ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack-mount server system built for general-purpose workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2603v3 six-core processor running at 1.6 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis includes redundant hot-swap power supplies and an 8-bay small form factor drive cage populated with two 146 GB 15K SAS drives. The Smart HBA H240 controller provides RAID 0, 1 and 5 support for SAS and SATA devices.

Suited for density-focused deployments.

This configuration suits buyers who need a compact, redundant 1U platform for virtualisation, file serving or cloud front-end duties. The single CPU and 8 GB base memory fit light consolidation tasks where the 16 DIMM slots allow later expansion. The Matrox G200 graphics and lack of PCIe accelerator support make it unsuitable for workloads requiring GPU compute, 3D rendering or hardware video transcoding. Buyers who need more storage bays than the eight 2.5-inch slots provide should look at a larger chassis.

16 DIMM slots with DDR4 ECC registered memory

The decisive specification is the memory subsystem: 16 DIMM slots split evenly across two processor sockets, accepting 4 GB through 64 GB DDR4 ECC registered modules at up to 2400 MT/s. With one processor installed only eight slots are active, limiting maximum capacity to half the platform ceiling. Adding the second Xeon unlocks the remaining slots and doubles the usable memory channels, so the decision to populate the second socket dictates the total RAM ceiling.

Questions about this item

Will the H240 controller recognise the SAS drives I already use in an older Gen8 rack?

The H240 is a 12 Gb SAS HBA that also supports 6 Gb SATA, so existing SAS drives connect to the same backplane without an adapter.

How can I verify the single Xeon E5-2603v3 and 8 GB DDR4 are detected at POST?

The iLO 4 management display shows one 6-core 1.6 GHz processor and 8 GB registered ECC memory during boot, confirming the installed configuration.

Does the box include drive trays for the eight SFF bays or must I order them separately?

Two 2.5-inch SAS drives ship with their trays installed; the remaining six bays are empty and require separate tray purchases if you add more drives.
