HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2640 v3 8C 2.6GHz 8GB DDR4 2x 600GB SAS H240ar

Compact 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 is a 1U rack server built for dense compute environments. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.6GHz and 8GB of DDR4 ECC memory. Two 600GB 15K SAS drives and an H240ar controller provide fast local storage. Dual 500W redundant power supplies keep the platform running if one unit fails. No operating system is included.

Suits virtualisation hosts; not for GPU compute

This server suits teams running virtualisation, databases or memory-heavy applications that benefit from up to 24 DIMM slots and a second processor socket. The Matrox G200 graphics controller only supports basic console output, so buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI, rendering or VDI should look at a different platform. The eight SFF bays limit raw capacity compared with larger chassis, so workloads demanding many high-capacity drives will need external storage.

24 DDR4 DIMM slots define maximum memory

The single most important specification is the 24 DDR4 DIMM slots, 12 per processor, which set the ceiling for memory expansion. With one processor installed, 12 slots are active and support registered ECC modules up to 64GB each. Adding the second processor unlocks the remaining 12 slots and raises the theoretical maximum. Buyers planning large in-memory workloads must verify their processor choice and module density against this slot count.
