HPE ML350 Gen9 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2667 v4 384GB DDR4 rack server

Dual-socket Xeon tower server

The HPE ML350 Gen9 chassis arrives as a rack-mountable tower server fitted with two Xeon E5-2667 v4 processors running at 3.2 GHz. Thirty-two cores and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory provide a ready-to-run platform for virtualisation, database or compute workloads. The eight 2.5-inch small-form-factor bays are empty so you can populate them with SAS drives that match your capacity and redundancy plan.

Verify power and drive compatibility

Confirm that your rack supplies two 500 W flex-slot power supplies and that the P440 SAS controller supports the drive mix you intend to install. The integrated Intel I350 and X540 network card delivers two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports, so check cabling and switch ports before deployment. Remote management relies on HPE iLO Advanced, which requires a dedicated management network segment.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous multi-threaded load the dual 8-core CPUs maintain their 3.2 GHz base frequency while the P440 controller manages RAID parity calculations without a separate cache module. The 384 GB memory ceiling leaves headroom for 1 536 GB maximum expansion if workloads grow. Thermal design targets steady-state operation in a standard rack airflow rather than short burst performance.
