HPE ML350 Gen9 8SFF 1x Xeon E5-2680v4 256GB DDR4 rack server

HPE ML350 Gen9 8SFF rack server

The HPE ML350 Gen9 8SFF is a 2U rack-mount server system built for businesses that need expandable compute and memory in a standard rack footprint. It arrives with one Intel Xeon E5-2680v4 processor running at 2.4GHz, 14 cores and 35MB cache, plus 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 8SFF chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller with 2GB flash-backed write cache. Dual 500W Flex Slot power supplies and HPE iLO Advanced remote management are fitted.

Suited for virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits IT teams deploying virtualisation clusters, database workloads or memory-intensive applications that benefit from the 256GB DDR4 capacity and the ability to scale to 1536GB across 24 DIMM slots. A second processor can be added later to double core count. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or who require a different drive interface than SAS or SATA should evaluate other platforms.

256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The single specification that determines fit is the 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory already installed across the 24 DIMM slots, leaving room to grow to 1536GB. This memory type is mandatory for the Gen9 architecture; other DDR generations are physically and electrically incompatible. Confirm your application’s memory requirement against this baseline before purchase.
