HPE ProLiant DL160 G5 1U Server
The HPE ProLiant DL160 G5 is a 1U rackmount server built around a single Intel Xeon E5430 quad-core processor running at 2.66 GHz. It ships with 2 GB of DDR2 SDRAM and supports up to 32 GB across eight memory slots. The chassis includes an Ultra ATA and SAS controller with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 support and a combo optical drive.
Suits legacy Xeon 5400 platforms.
This server fits environments that must maintain compatibility with the Intel 5400 chipset and DDR2 memory architecture. It is not for buyers who need faster processors, larger standard memory configurations, or newer memory standards. It also does not suit deployments requiring pre-installed storage drives or support for more than two physical processors.
Quad-core E5430 at 2.66 GHz with 12 MB cache
The installed Xeon E5430 delivers four cores at 2.66 GHz with a 12 MB cache, defining the compute ceiling for this unit. A second processor socket is available for expansion within the same platform. The processor choice determines whether the server meets the performance requirements of the intended legacy application.

Questions about this item
How loud and hot does the 1U rack server get when the Xeon E5430 runs at 2.66 GHz all day?
The 1U ProLiant DL160 G5 uses standard server fans that spin faster under sustained load from the quad-core Xeon E5430; expect noticeable airflow noise and warm exhaust typical of rack-mounted hardware.
What drives must I already own to use the integrated Ultra ATA and Serial Attached SCSI controller?
The controller supports SAS disks and Parallel ATA devices; you need compatible SAS or Ultra ATA hard drives to populate the drive bays and enable RAID 0, 1, 5 or 10.
Can I keep my existing DDR2 memory modules when upgrading this DL160 G5 to its 32 GB maximum?
Yes, the server has eight DDR2 SDRAM slots and accepts standard DDR2 modules; installed sticks can remain while you add more up to the 32 GB limit.
