HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 1U rack server E5-2670 v3 12-core 2.3GHz 8GB DDR4 2x 300GB 15K SAS H240ar

Dense 1U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 fits a single Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 twelve-core processor at 2.3 GHz with 8 GB DDR4 ECC memory into a 1U chassis. Redundant hot-swap 500 W power supplies and four 3.5-inch LFF drive bays support space-constrained workloads. It targets buyers who need compute density without a full-height rack footprint.

Sustained-load behaviour

Dual 500 W redundant supplies keep the system running if one unit fails during continuous operation. The Smart HBA H240ar controller manages two 300 GB 15 K SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 without a battery-backed cache. Twenty-four DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to the processor limit for long-running virtualisation or database tasks.

Single decisive spec

Only one processor is installed although the board accepts two, capping cores at twelve and threads at twenty-four. Memory is fixed at 8 GB unless additional DDR4 ECC modules are purchased separately. Buyers who need more cores or larger memory from day one should look elsewhere.
