Balanced 1U rack server for mixed workloads
The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and an H240 storage controller supporting RAID 0, 1 and 5. The platform targets general-purpose and cloud deployments that need compute density in a compact form factor.
Redundant power and eight hot-swap bays
A redundant hot-swap 550 W power supply helps maintain uptime during a module failure. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch SFF drive bays with trays and screws included, ready for SAS or SATA drives connected through the 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA H240 controller. Matrox G200 graphics with 16 MB video memory handles basic console output.
Memory ceiling and single-socket limits
The installed 16 GB occupies part of the 16 DIMM slots, eight per processor, with a stated maximum of 16 GB on this configuration. The board supports up to 36 total cores across two sockets, but only one Xeon is fitted, capping virtual cores at 20 with hyper-threading. DDR4 speeds reach 2400 MT/s depending on the processor capability, and no operating system is included.

Questions about this item
What RAID levels does the Smart HBA H240 controller support?
The Smart HBA H240 supports RAID 0, 1, and 5 across its 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA ports.
How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the 1U chassis provide?
The chassis includes eight SFF drive bays with trays and screws supplied; drives themselves are not included.
How is the H240 controller installed and what step is often missed?
The H240 plugs into a PCIe slot inside the server; the step often missed is connecting the internal SAS cables from the controller to the drive backplane before powering on.
