HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 1U server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processor with ten cores running at 2.3 GHz. It ships with 4GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 1TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a Smart HBA H240 controller. The chassis supports up to two processors and 36 total cores for virtualisation or cloud workloads.

Installation notes and common issues

The server uses 16 DIMM slots, eight per processor, so memory must be added in matched sets for each CPU installed. Drive trays for the eight 2.5-inch SFF bays are included only with populated drives; empty bays need separate trays. The H240 controller requires firmware updates before deploying RAID 5 arrays to avoid early rebuild failures. Redundant hot-swap power supplies simplify maintenance but need both units seated for full redundancy.

Practical limits of SAS and DDR4

The H240 controller provides 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA links, yet the installed 7.2K drives operate at 6Gbps, capping sequential throughput. DDR4 memory runs up to 2400 MT/s, but actual speed depends on the specific processor capability and DIMM population. Maximum memory capacity reaches 1TB only when both processor sockets are filled with 64GB modules. RAID 5 rebuild times increase significantly with larger drive counts in the eight-bay chassis.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the single Xeon E5-2650 v3 is running at 2.3 GHz with 10 cores and 20 threads after installation?

Check the BIOS or iLO interface on first boot; it will report one processor at 2.3 GHz with 10 cores and 20 virtual threads from hyper-threading.

Which drives, trays and power supplies ship with the 8-bay SFF chassis, and what must I add for RAID 5?

Two 1 TB 7.2K 2.5" SAS drives with trays, the Smart HBA H240 controller, and a 550 W hot-swap power supply are included; add a third SAS drive to enable RAID 5.

Should I choose 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB DDR4 modules to reach the 1 TB maximum?

Use 64 GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs — sixteen modules fill every slot and hit the 1 TB limit supported by the C610 chipset.
