HPE ProLiant DL120 Gen9 8SFF refurbished 1U single-socket rack server with eight 2.5 inch bays, for Xeon E5-2600 v3 and v4 processors.
The HPE ProLiant DL120 Gen9 8SFF is a single-socket 1U rack server from HPE's ProLiant Gen9 generation. It is built on the Intel C610 chipset with one LGA2011-3 socket for Xeon E5-2600 v3 and v4 processors of up to 22 cores. This configuration has eight front 2.5 inch hot-swap bays running SATA from the embedded Dynamic Smart Array B140i, eight DDR4 DIMM slots for up to 256GB of ECC RDIMM, two embedded 1GbE ports, three PCIe 3.0 slots and HPE iLO 4 for out-of-band management. Our SKU for this model is SD-DL120G9-8SFF. Integrators and IT teams in Doha and across Qatar choose the DL120 Gen9 when a workload needs a full Xeon E5 host in one rack unit but not a second processor. A single socket keeps power draw and per-socket software licensing down, which suits firewall builds, hosting nodes and edge sites.
SD-DL120G9-8SFFForm factor 1U rackFull configuration
The 8SFF chassis is the DL120 Gen9 variant with eight small form factor bays at the front. Because it has one socket, memory capacity and PCIe lanes are those of a single processor, so the figures below are the full ceiling of the server.
What this configuration suits
Compare the workload you have in mind against the fitted components.
a single Xeon E5 v4 of up to 22 cores with up to 256GB of RDIMM runs a modest number of virtual machines, and one socket keeps per-socket hypervisor licensing low.
two 1GbE ports cover basic connectivity, and a 10GbE adapter can be added where traffic needs it. Edge sites and comms rooms with little rack space benefit from the 1U height.
memory stops at 256GB and a second processor cannot be added. The embedded B140i is driver-based with no cache, so it suits mirrors and boot volumes rather than parity RAID or write-heavy databases. For larger memory footprints, a dual-socket server such as the DL360 Gen9 is the better fit.
Upgrade paths
- Processor: any Xeon E5-2600 v3 or v4 model up to 22 cores; a v4 part is the usual step up from v3.
- Memory: eight DDR4 slots to a 256GB ceiling. Fill the channels evenly for best bandwidth rather than loading one or two channels.
- Storage: eight 2.5 inch bays. Add a Smart Array P440 for SAS, cache and hardware RAID, or an H240 HBA for pass-through to software-defined storage.
- Network: a 10GbE adapter in a free PCIe 3.0 slot. With a controller fitted, two slots remain for networking or other cards.
- Management: an iLO 4 licence adds full graphical remote console and virtual media.
Compatibility
Parts for the DL120 Gen9 follow the ProLiant Gen9 platform. Use registered ECC DDR4 only and keep all DIMMs the same type. SAS drives will not be seen on the embedded B140i, so plan the controller before buying SAS disks. Each optional controller or adapter takes one of the three PCIe 3.0 slots.

Ask on WhatsApp sales@serverdove.comWhich processors does the HPE DL120 Gen9 support?
The DL120 Gen9 has one LGA2011-3 socket on the Intel C610 chipset and accepts Xeon E5-2600 v3 and v4 processors. Models of up to 22 cores can be fitted. It is a single-socket design, so a second processor cannot be added, and memory capacity and PCIe resources are those of one CPU.
How much memory can the DL120 Gen9 take?
There are eight DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 256GB of ECC RDIMM. Running memory speed depends on the installed processor generation and how the slots are populated. For best bandwidth, fill the channels evenly rather than loading slots on only one or two channels.
Can the DL120 Gen9 8SFF use SAS drives?
Not on the embedded controller. The Dynamic Smart Array B140i handles SATA drives only. For SAS drives, fit a Smart Array P440 controller for hardware RAID or an H240 HBA for pass-through. Either card uses one of the three PCIe 3.0 slots.
What is the difference between the B140i and a Smart Array P440?
The B140i is an embedded, driver-based SATA RAID controller with no dedicated cache. It suits simple mirrors and boot volumes. The P440 is a PCIe card that adds SAS support, onboard cache and hardware RAID processing, which matters for parity RAID and write-heavy workloads.
Can I add 10GbE networking to the DL120 Gen9?
Yes. The server has 2x 1GbE ports onboard and three PCIe 3.0 slots, and a 10GbE adapter can be installed in a free slot. If one slot is already used for a RAID controller or HBA, two slots remain for networking or other cards.
What remote management does the DL120 Gen9 have?
It uses HPE iLO 4, the management processor for ProLiant Gen9 servers. iLO 4 provides remote power control, hardware health monitoring and event logging. Full graphical remote console and virtual media features depend on the iLO licence level applied.
How does the DL120 Gen9 compare with the DL360 Gen9?
Both are 1U Gen9 servers for the Xeon E5-2600 v3 and v4 families. The DL120 has a single socket and eight DIMM slots. The DL360 Gen9 is a dual-socket design with considerably more memory capacity. The DL120 suits workloads that fit one processor and benefit from lower per-socket licensing.

Why buy refurbished
Enterprise hardware, tested in Doha, at a fraction of the price of new
Every unit we sell has already proven itself in a data centre. We test it again, grade it, and back it with a warranty before it leaves our stock.
Tested before it ships
POST, burn-in, memory and power-supply checks on every unit. Anything that fails is repaired or pulled from stock, not sold.
Same performance, lower cost
A Xeon runs the same workloads whether it is new or two years old. Spend the difference on more CPUs, memory or storage.
In stock, not on order
New enterprise hardware can take weeks or months to arrive. Ours is on the shelf in Doha and delivered across Qatar within a day.
Warranty and local support
Every unit is covered. Installation, configuration and hardware support are handled by our own team in Qatar, not a call centre abroad.
