About This Product
Overview
The HPE ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is a 1U rack server barebone platform built for users who want a configurable foundation for a custom server deployment. With support for dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 and v4 processors, LGA2011-3 CPU sockets, and DDR4 ECC Registered memory, it provides the core platform needed to assemble a system around your specific workload requirements. Its compact rackmount design makes it suitable for environments where space efficiency matters, while the integrated iLO4 management feature adds convenient remote administration capabilities for ongoing oversight and maintenance. Because this unit is supplied as a barebone server with no CPU, no RAM, and no drives, it is intended for buyers who already have compatible components or want to source them separately to match their build plan.
Performance & Scalability
Designed around the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 processor family, the DL160 Gen9 offers a flexible performance platform that can be tailored to different server roles depending on the installed CPUs, memory configuration, and storage layout. DDR4 ECC Registered memory support helps make it a practical choice for business environments that require reliable operation and expandable capacity. PCIe 3.0 expansion slots provide room for additional hardware as needs evolve, allowing the system to be adapted for networking, storage, or other expansion requirements. This makes the server a strong fit for organizations looking for a scalable rack server base that can be configured for general-purpose computing, virtualization support, or application hosting within the limits of the installed components.
Storage Flexibility
The HPE ProLiant DL160 Gen9 supports SAS, SATA, and SSD drives, giving you flexibility when planning storage for the system. This broad compatibility allows the platform to be matched with different performance and capacity goals, whether the priority is fast response times, balanced everyday storage, or higher-capacity drive options. Its flexible drive bay configuration adds another layer of adaptability, making it easier to align the chassis with the storage layout required for your deployment. Since the server is offered without drives installed, it gives resellers, IT teams, and system builders the freedom to choose storage that fits the intended use case and existing infrastructure.
Why Choose This Product?
This barebone rack server is a practical option for buyers who need a proven HPE platform and prefer to build out the system with selected components. The combination of dual-processor support, DDR4 ECC Registered memory compatibility, PCIe 3.0 expansion, and integrated iLO4 management creates a versatile base for many server configurations. Its 1U form factor helps conserve rack space, while the flexible drive support makes it easier to design a storage setup around specific performance or capacity needs. For IT hardware buyers seeking a configurable server chassis from HPE, the DL160 Gen9 offers a balanced mix of manageability, expandability, and deployment flexibility.
About this barebone
HPE ProLiant DL160 Gen9 rack server barebone, a refurbished 1U dual socket Xeon E5-2600 v3 and v4 chassis with iLO 4. Tested and stocked in Doha, delivered across Qatar within a day.
The ProLiant DL160 Gen9 is HPE's value 1U rack server of the ninth generation. It runs the same Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 and v4 processors in LGA2011-3 sockets as the mainstream 1U Gen9 server, with DDR4 ECC Registered memory and integrated iLO 4, but with 16 DIMM slots rather than 24 and a simpler chassis with fewer expansion options. It is supplied with no CPU, no RAM and no drives.
That makes it the right choice when a dual socket server is needed but the memory ceiling of the larger 1U model would go unused: file and print servers, domain controllers, monitoring hosts and small hypervisors. Buyers in Qatar who want HPE management and serviceability at the lowest cost per node choose this refurbished chassis, which ServerDove keeps in Doha stock.

Chassis and platform
HPE offered the DL160 Gen9 with either four 3.5 inch LFF bays or eight 2.5 inch SFF bays across the front. This unit is listed with a flexible drive bay configuration, so confirm which front cage is fitted before ordering drives and carriers.

What you need to add
The DL160 Gen9 uses the same processors and memory as the rest of the Gen9 range but its own heatsinks and power supplies, so order chassis specific parts by model rather than by generation.
- One or two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 or v4 processors with DL160 Gen9 heatsinks
- DDR4 ECC Registered DIMMs, four per processor to fill every memory channel, up to sixteen in total
- SAS, SATA or SSD drives in HPE SmartDrive carriers of the size that matches the fitted cage
- A Smart Array controller or HBA if hardware RAID or SAS drives are planned
- Power supplies to suit the chassis, two where redundancy is required
Because the memory bank per processor is eight slots, plan capacity around eight DIMMs per CPU rather than the twelve the mainstream Gen9 servers take.
Part numbers and identification
Model and generation identify the platform. Buyers search for "DL160 Gen9" and "DL160 G9"; both refer to this chassis.
