HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen11 E-2414 2.6GHz 4-core 16GB DDR5 4LFF 350W P65093-001

Tower server for small-business workloads

The HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen11 is a tower server built around a single Intel Xeon E-2414 processor running at 2.6 GHz with four cores and 55 W TDP. It ships with 16 GB of DDR5 memory and a 350 W Gold power supply in a chassis that holds four large form factor non-hot-plug drives. This configuration targets small offices or branch locations running file, print or light application workloads.

Upgrade path from entry-level systems

The platform supports Intel Xeon E processors up to 8 cores and 95 W, so the installed 4-core CPU can be replaced when compute demand grows. Memory scales to 128 GB using 4800 MT/s DDR5 UDIMMs in 16 GB or 32 GB modules, allowing a straightforward capacity increase. The jump is worth it when current threads or memory limits stall batch jobs or virtual machines.

Build considerations for expansion

Four expansion slots are available, including one PCIe Gen5 x16 slot for high-bandwidth add-in cards. An onboard M.2 slot accepts NVMe SSDs for fast boot or cache tiers without consuming a drive bay. A dedicated iLO management port and optional serial port kit simplify remote administration. Buyers needing hot-plug drive bays or redundant power supplies should look at other chassis configurations.
