HPE ML350 Gen9 8SFF 1x Xeon E5-2698 v4 192GB DDR4 rack server

HPE ML350 Gen9 8SFF rack server

The HPE ML350 Gen9 8SFF is a rack-mount server system built for businesses that need expandable compute in a standard chassis. It ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2698 v4 processor running at 2.2 GHz and 192 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The eight-bay 2.5-inch drive cage and an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller provide flexible storage options. Dual 500 W Flex Slot power supplies and HPE iLO Advanced remote management are included.

Suits virtualisation hosts and database nodes.

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases that benefit from twenty cores and large ECC memory capacity. The integrated graphics and single-processor installation make it unsuitable for workloads that require GPU acceleration or the full dual-processor memory ceiling of 1536 GB. Buyers needing additional CPU sockets or pre-installed drives should specify those options before purchase.

8SFF drive cage with P440 SAS controller

The defining specification is the eight-bay 2.5-inch SFF chassis paired with the P440 PCIe SAS RAID controller. This combination dictates which drives can be added and how many logical arrays are supported. Storage is not installed, so the buyer must populate the bays with compatible SAS or SATA drives to match the intended capacity and redundancy level.
