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 E5-2623 v3 quad-core processor at 3 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The H240 Smart HBA provides 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA connectivity with RAID 0, 1, and 5 support. Two 146 GB 15 K SAS drives are pre-installed in the eight-bay SFF chassis.

Upgrade path from single-socket density

The platform supports a second Xeon E5-2600 v3 or v4 processor to reach up to 36 total cores and 1 TB of DDR4 across 16 DIMM slots. Adding the second CPU unlocks the remaining eight memory channels and doubles PCIe lane availability. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays accept additional SAS or SATA drives, and an optional universal media bay can replace two bays for optical or backup media. This jump is worth it when thread count, memory capacity, or internal storage must grow beyond the single-socket baseline.

Sustained load with redundant power

Dual hot-swap 550 W power supplies deliver N+N redundancy, keeping the server online during a module failure or maintenance swap. The 1 U airflow design moves air front-to-back across both CPU sockets, the H240 controller, and the 15 K drives, maintaining thermal margins during continuous database or virtualization workloads. The Matrox G200 graphics subsystem handles remote management consoles without adding thermal load. No operating system is included, so the integrator chooses the hypervisor or OS that matches the workload profile.

Questions about this item

What rack height and bay count does the DL160 Gen9 require for mounting?

It is a 1U rack server with 8 small form factor 2.5 inch drive bays, so it fits a standard 1U space and uses the included trays for the two 146GB SAS drives already installed.

How is the Smart HBA H240 controller configured during installation, and what step is often missed?

The H240 supports RAID 0, 1 and 5; a common oversight is forgetting to create the logical drive in the controller BIOS before installing an operating system, leaving the 146GB drives unconfigured.

What memory upgrades will the server need later, and what limits apply?

It has 16 DDR4 DIMM slots (8 per processor) and currently holds 8GB; you can add 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB or 64GB ECC Registered modules up to 2400MT/s, with a maximum of 1TB when a second processor is installed.
