HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen11 Xeon E-2414 32GB DDR5 1TB SATA Tower Server

ProLiant ML30 Gen11 Tower

The HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen11 is a single-socket tower server for branch offices, SMB line-of-business apps, and light virtualization. This configuration pairs an Intel Xeon E-2414 with 32 GB DDR5 and a 1 TB SATA drive in the ML30 chassis. Gen11 ProLiant firmware, iLO management, and HPE’s option kits (PSU, RAID, extra disks) define the expansion path. The E-2414 is a Xeon E-2400 series CPU aimed at entry servers, not a dual-socket Xeon Scalable part. Treat this SKU as a configured tower, not a blade or rack DL class.

Additionally, DDR5 on Gen11 raises memory bandwidth versus Gen10 DDR4 ML30 units. Therefore 32 GB is a sensible starting point for a domain controller plus a line-of-business VM, not a dense hypervisor node. However, SATA 1 TB is a boot and data disk, not an enterprise RAID set. Consequently, add a RAID controller and extra drives if the workload needs redundancy before production.

Key Features

• Xeon E-2414 compute
  Entry Xeon E-2400 series processor with ECC memory support for 24/7 tower duty.

• 32 GB DDR5

  • ECC DDR5 as configured on this build.
  • Populate remaining DIMM slots per HPE QVL when growing RAM.

• 1 TB SATA storage
  Single large SATA drive for OS and data. Plan RAID or backup before storing unique records.

• iLO remote management
  HPE iLO provides remote KVM, power control, and health alerts when licensed/enabled on the system board.

• Tower serviceability
  Side-access bays suit offices without a 19-inch rack. Keep clear intake and exhaust paths.

Specifications

What’s in the Box

• ProLiant ML30 Gen11 tower as configured

• Power cord

• Documentation

Rails, extra PSUs, and OS licenses are typically separate.

Why Choose This Tower Server

• Xeon E-2414 plus ECC DDR5 is a clearer office server than a desktop PC.

• iLO allows power and console access without a KVM in the room.

• Tower form avoids rack CAPEX for a single-node site.

• Gen11 option kits keep a documented upgrade path.

Additionally, register the unit in HPE Support for firmware packs. Therefore iLO and system ROM should be updated in a maintenance window. However, a single SATA disk is a single point of failure. Consequently, enable backups on day one. Check HPE QuickSpecs for exact E-2414 core/thread counts, TDP, and maximum RAM for the ML30 Gen11 board you received.
