Server identity

This 1U rack server is a new HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 fitted with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 4 GB of DDR4 memory and two 1.8 TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a Smart HBA H240 controller. The platform targets organisations that need balanced compute and storage density in a compact form factor.

Installation notes

The chassis uses eight small-form-factor drive bays and includes hot-swap redundant power supplies, so drives and power units can be swapped without tools or downtime. Memory populates up to 16 DIMM slots across two processor sockets, but only one CPU is installed from the factory. A common oversight is ordering additional DDR4 modules without confirming the processor’s supported speed, which caps actual memory frequency at 2400 MT/s.

Compatibility checks

Verify that your rack provides standard 1U spacing and adequate airflow for a 550 W power supply. Confirm the H240 controller’s RAID 0, 1 or 5 levels meet your redundancy requirements and that your backup software supports the SAS interface. No operating system is included, so plan for a separate licence and installation media before deployment.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Xeon E5-2630 v3 is running at 2.4GHz after installation?

Check the system BIOS or iLO interface; the processor will report its rated 2.4GHz base frequency and 8 cores with hyper-threading enabled.

What ships with the 1U chassis and which items must I source separately?

The unit includes the H240 controller, a 550W redundant power supply, 4GB DDR4, and two 1.8TB 7.2K 2.5″ SAS drives in trays; rails, an operating system and any extra memory or drives are not included.

Which DDR4 capacity should I select to expand the 4GB up to the 1TB maximum?

Populate the 16 DIMM slots with 64GB ECC Registered DDR4-2400 modules to reach the full 1TB; smaller 8GB, 16GB or 32GB modules can be mixed if all slots are filled identically per processor.
