PowerEdge T160 Tower Server Overview
The Dell PowerEdge T160 is a compact 3U tower server delivering enterprise-level performance in a remarkably small footprint—42% smaller than the T150. Powered by the latest Intel Xeon E-2400 series processors (or Xeon 6300 series) with up to 8 cores, the T160 combines advanced processing power, DDR5 memory, and PCIe Gen 4 expansion in an office-friendly design ideal for small businesses, remote offices, and edge deployments.
Compact & Sustainable Design
The T160's distinctive silver appearance comes from unpainted zinc-coated steel, reducing chemical usage during manufacturing while maintaining durability. The compact chassis features quiet acoustic performance suitable for office environments, with easy-to-manage filter bezels that shield components from dust and grease, extending component lifespan and reducing maintenance requirements.
Next-Generation Performance
The T160 supports Intel Xeon E-2400 series or Intel Xeon 6300 series processors with up to 8 cores, or Intel Pentium G7400/G7400T processors for budget-conscious deployments. With DDR5 UDIMM memory support up to 128GB across 4 DIMM slots at speeds up to 4400 MT/s, the T160 delivers significantly faster memory bandwidth than previous generation DDR4-based servers.
Storage Flexibility
Configure the T160 with up to 5 drive bays:
- 3 x 3.5" LFF bays - For large-capacity SATA HDDs or SSDs
- 2 x 2.5" SFF bays (optional) - For high-performance SSDs
- BOSS-N1 - Boot Optimized Storage with 2 x M.2 NVMe SSDs in hot-plug carriers
RAID controller options include:
- PERC S160 - Software RAID for basic configurations (RAID 0, 1, 5, 10)
- PERC H355 - Entry-level hardware RAID for SAS/SATA drives
- PERC H755 - Advanced hardware RAID with cache for enhanced performance
- HBA355i/e - 12Gbps SAS HBA for non-RAID configurations
PCIe Gen 4 Expansion
Two PCIe Gen 4 expansion slots support half-length, half-height add-in cards for network adapters, GPU acceleration, or additional storage controllers. PCIe Gen 4 delivers twice the throughput of Gen 3, significantly improving I/O performance for high-bandwidth devices.
