  • 16 DDR4 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 1TB

1U rack server for balanced workloads

The HP ProLiant DL160 Gen9 fits a single Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core 2.3 GHz processor and 4 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. It targets general-purpose and cloud deployments that need up to 36 total cores across two sockets. Buyers who want more storage or a second processor must add those components themselves.

Thermals and power draw

Redundant hot-swap 550 W supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails. The 1U chassis uses internal airflow to cool the CPU, eight 2.5-inch 15 K SAS drives and the H240 controller under normal operation. Noise levels follow typical rack-server profiles for this form factor.

Bundled drives and controller

Eight 146 GB 15 K SAS drives arrive pre-installed with trays, delivering high IOPS for transactional workloads. The Smart HBA H240 provides 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA connectivity with RAID 0, 1 and 5 support. No operating system is included, so the software stack is entirely chosen by the administrator.

Questions about this item

How do I install the eight 146 GB SAS drives and what step is often missed?

Slide each 2.5-inch drive into the front SFF bays until the latch clicks; the step often missed is creating the RAID 0, 1 or 5 volume in the H240 controller BIOS before installing an operating system.

What maintenance or replacement will the 550 W hot-swap power supply need later?

The redundant 550 W supply is hot-swappable; if a unit fails, pull the handle and insert a replacement without powering down the server.

What limit appears first when the Xeon E5-2650 v3 runs sustained workloads with only 4 GB DDR4 installed?

Memory capacity is the first bottleneck; the single processor supports up to 1 TB across 16 DIMM slots, so sustained use will exhaust the 4 GB long before CPU thermal limits.
