HPE ProLiant DL160 Gen10 4LFF - 4 X 3.5 INCH

HPE PROLIANT DL160 GEN10 (G10) SERVER - SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Description

With the addition of Intel Xeon Scalable processors, the HPE ProLiant DL160 Gen10 Server delivers 71% increase in performance plus a 27% increase in core count compared to the previous generation Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 processors. Scalable processors also support two more memory channels at 6 per processor, compared to just four on the previous generation, increasing memory bandwidth and application performance. The HPE DL160 Gen10 can be used to support small to medium sized businesses with mid-level virtualization.

Performance

With the HPE ProLiant DL160 Gen10 server’s just-right size this system supports a maximum of 256GB of memory using either two Silver 4110 processors or two Bronze 3106 processors. Power is provided by either a cabled PSU or dual hot-swap power supplies.

Memory

Each processor supports up to eight memory modules in six memory channels. Four of those channels support a single memory module and the remaining two memory channels support two memory modules each in a 2+1+1 configuration. Only Registered (RDIMM) memory modules are supported and operate at speeds of up to 2400MHz.

Storage

Supported drive configurations on the HPE DL160 Gen10 server include 4 x 3.5-inch drives or 8 x 2.5-inch drive. A micro SD card slot on the motherboard, towards the back of the system, provides storage for a hypervisor. SATA HDDs and SSDs are supported natively with three SATA ports on the system board. For SAS or NVMe HDD or SSD drive support, you will need an optional SmartArray RAID controller offering transfer speeds of up to 12Gb/s.

Expansion

The system will support a maximum of two PCIe 3.0 expansion slots with one CPUs installed. With two CPUs installed, a third PCIe slot is active. There are also several options for the primary riser to support different cards and including a GPU riser, a SATA M.2 riser, an NVMe riser, and a secondary riser that supports three PCIe slots and is the only one that requires two processors. There are five USB 3.0 ports total, which is standard on all chassis with one in front, two in the back, and two internal.

Management

Both remote and local management of the system is provided by HPE’s integrated Lights Out Standard (iLO) with intelligent provisioning. For more functionality, you can also upgrade iLO to an Advanced or Advanced Premium Security Edition with the purchase of a license.

Summary

The HPE ProLiant DL160 Gen10 server delivers the performance for SMBs with help from Intel’s Xeon Scalable processors. Supporting generous storage up front and up to 256GB of memory, this server is perfect for standard business applications, mid-level virtualization or for use as a web server.
