1TB SATA 7.2K LFF Business Critical hard drive included
Four LFF non-hot-plug drive bays with embedded Intel® VROC SATA RAID
Two PCIe 5.0 expansion slots and dedicated iLO-M.2 port kit
TPM 2.0, HPE iLO silicon root of trust and 1/1/1 warranty
Benefits
Ready to deploy with processor, memory and storage already fitted
Ultra micro tower sits flat, vertical or wall-mounted to suit constrained office space
DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 expansion leave clear headroom for future growth
HPE iLO remote management allows monitoring and recovery without a site visit
EMEA SKU supplied with the correct regional power adapter and documentation
Product Comparison
HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen11 with Intel Xeon E-2434 - same chassis but a quad-core Xeon with ECC memory support, suited to busier virtualisation or shared file workloads
Dell PowerEdge T150 - Dell's equivalent entry tower, typically configured with a Xeon E-2400 chip and iDRAC remote management as the like-for-like option outside the HPE ecosystem
Lenovo ThinkSystem ST50 V3 - Lenovo's entry tower with XClarity management, worth considering where you're matching an existing vendor estate
Sizing and Capacity
Ultra micro tower form factor that fits on or under a desk without rack hardware. Memory scales from the supplied 16GB to 128GB across four DDR5 UDIMM slots. Storage runs to four LFF drives with embedded SATA RAID, and an optional M.2 slot is available via the iLO/M.2/serial port kit for fast OS boot. Powered by an external 180W adapter (non-redundant). Practical workloads include small file and print services, Active Directory, light virtualisation, backup target duties or hosting two to three line-of-business applications.
Who It's For
Small businesses, branch offices, IT resellers and home lab users replacing an older Gen8 or Gen10 MicroServer, or buying a first HPE server for general business workloads.
FAQs
Is an operating system included? No. The server ships as bare hardware. Windows Server, a Linux distribution or a hypervisor licence will need to be supplied separately.
Can I use ECC memory? The Pentium Gold G7400 does not support ECC. The Xeon E-2400-based MicroServer Gen11 variants are the route to ECC.
Is the power supply redundant? No. This model ships with a single 180W external adapter.
What warranty is included? HPE's standard 1/1/1 warranty (one year parts, labour and on-site response). Care Packs are available to extend cover.
Can it be rack-mounted? No, but it can be placed flat, stood vertically or wall-mounted with the optional kit.
