HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U Rack Server E5-2670 v3 12C 2.3GHz 48GB 2x 600GB SAS H240ar

Dense 1U rack server for space-constrained workloads

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 processor with twelve cores at 2.3 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a 1U chassis. It ships with two 600 GB 15K SAS drives on a Smart HBA H240ar controller and dual 500 W redundant power supplies. This configuration targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes or compute clusters where rack density matters.

Sustained load behaviour with dual redundant power

Dual 500 W hot-swap supplies keep the system running if one unit fails, while the 1U airflow design moves heat across the processor and twenty-four DIMM slots. The 15K SAS drives deliver consistent random I/O for transactional workloads, and the H240ar controller maintains RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 without a battery-backed cache. Thermal throttling is managed by the integrated iLO 4 firmware under prolonged compute pressure.

Single-CPU limit caps maximum cores at twelve

Only one processor is installed and the board supports a maximum of two, so the highest core count reachable in this chassis is twenty-four. Memory is already at the 48 GB installed ceiling for this CPU, and the four LFF bays are half-populated with the supplied 600 GB drives. Buyers who need more than twelve physical cores or more than 48 GB per socket must add a second processor and populate additional DIMM slots.
