Purpose-built 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor at 2.3 GHz, 8 GB DDR4 ECC memory, and two 1 TB 7.2 K SAS drives. It targets small-business workloads, virtualisation hosts, or edge deployments that need balanced compute and storage in a compact chassis.

Upgrade path from single-socket limits

The system board accepts a second Xeon E5-2600 v3 or v4 CPU, doubling core count to 20 physical cores and 40 threads. Memory scales to 1 TB across 16 DIMM slots when both sockets are populated, making the jump worthwhile for databases or container clusters that outgrow the single-socket configuration.

SAS interface and drive-bay constraints

The Smart HBA H240 controller provides 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA connectivity with RAID 0, 1, and 5 support. Eight 2.5-inch SFF bays limit raw capacity unless larger drives are used, and the 12 Gb SAS backplane caps throughput per drive, so all-flash arrays will not reach their peak sequential speeds.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the 1U chassis provide for the installed SAS drives?

The chassis has eight small-form-factor bays, and two 1 TB 7.2K SAS drives are already fitted in trays.

Which RAID levels can the Smart HBA H240 controller handle during initial array creation?

The H240 supports RAID 0, 1 and 5; select the desired level in the controller BIOS before installing the operating system.

What memory specification must replacement DIMMs match for the 16 available slots?

Use DDR4 ECC Registered modules at up to 2400 MT/s in capacities of 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 GB per DIMM.
