HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen9 8SFF rack server 1x Xeon E5-2683 v4 2.1GHz 16C 256GB DDR4 no drives

HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen9 8SFF server

The HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen9 is a rack-mount server system equipped with a single Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processor running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It comes populated with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and includes an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS RAID controller. The 8SFF chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays, though no drives are installed in this configuration. Remote management is provided via HPE iLO Advanced, and the unit ships with dual 500 W Flex Slot power supplies.

Suited for virtualisation hosts needing memory

This server suits organisations building virtualisation hosts or database nodes that benefit from the 256 GB DDR4 installation and the ability to scale to 1536 GB across two processors. The eight-bay SAS chassis and P440 controller fit workloads that rely on traditional hard drives or SAS SSDs. Buyers who require pre-populated drive bays or GPU-accelerated workloads should look at a different platform. The integrated graphics and lack of installed storage mean additional components are needed before deployment.

256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The decisive specification is the 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory already installed, which determines immediate capacity for memory-intensive applications. The system uses DDR4 technology exclusively, so only DDR4 modules are compatible for future expansion up to the 1536 GB maximum. The single Xeon E5-2683 v4 processor occupies one of two sockets, leaving room for a second CPU to unlock the full memory ceiling and additional cores.
