HPE P83283-005 ProLiant DL320 Gen11 Xeon Bronze 3508U 2.1GHz 8-core 16GB DDR5 2x480GB SSD 2x500W rack server

HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen11 1U rack server

The HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen11 is a 1U rack server built for general-purpose workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon Bronze 3508U processor running at 2.10 GHz with 8 cores and 22.5 MB L3 cache. Sixteen gigabytes of HPE DDR5 Smart Memory at 5600 MT/s are installed in one slot. Two 480 GB SATA read-intensive SSDs and dual 500 W hot-plug power supplies are included.

Suits small-business IT

This configuration suits organisations that need a compact, redundant power platform for file, print, web or virtualisation tasks. The single-socket design and 16 GB base memory limit scope for heavy database or analytics workloads. Buyers who need more than two PCIe Gen5 expansion slots or a second processor should look at larger chassis options. The 1 Gb dual-port NIC may restrict high-throughput network segments.

Verify rack depth and DDR5 expansion plans

Confirm the 36.06-inch depth fits your rack enclosure with cable management clearance. The motherboard supports additional DDR5 modules beyond the single 16 GB DIMM installed. Eight SFF drive bays are available, with two occupied by the supplied SSDs. Two PCIe Gen5 slots and one OCP 3.0 Gen5 slot provide add-in card flexibility. Dual 500 W supplies require compatible PDU outlets.
