HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen11 server 960 GB Tower 32 GB DDR5 Intel Xeon E-2434 3.4 GHz

The HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen11 server 960 GB Tower 32 GB DDR5 Intel Xeon E-2434 3.4 GHz is an enterprise-class tower server for small and medium businesses, remote and branch offices. It combines an Intel Xeon E-2434 processor at 3.4 GHz, 32 GB DDR5 ECC memory (expandable to 128 GB), 960 GB total storage, and an 800 W power supply in a 4U tower chassis. The system supports RAID, multiple drive configurations (up to 4 LFF or 8 SFF) and includes HPE iLO firmware-based management and security features for on-premises and hybrid cloud deployments.

Advantages

The server delivers balanced performance and scalability through an Intel Xeon E processor, DDR5 memory, and support for PCIe Gen5 expansion. Onboard M.2 NVMe boot support and up to 80 TB overall storage capacity provide fast boot and large data capacity. Redundant power supply options and multiple hot-plug drive configurations increase availability. Built-in HPE iLO and hardware-based security (silicon root of trust, TPM, firmware validation and secure recovery) reduce operational risk and simplify management.

Suitable for

• Small and medium business file, application and database servers
• Remote and branch office on-premises or hybrid cloud workloads
• Virtualization for a small number of VMs and consolidated services
• Local storage/backup and remote management use cases

Key specifications

• Processor: Intel Xeon E-2434, 3.4 GHz (family: Intel Xeon E)
• Memory: 32 GB DDR5 ECC UDIMM (max 128 GB); 4x DIMM slots
• Storage: 960 GB total capacity (supports onboard M.2 NVMe); up to 4 LFF or 8 SFF drive bays (model dependent)
• RAID: Embedded Intel VROC SATA; optional HPE Smart Array controllers (12 Gbps)
• Expansion: Four expansion slots including one PCIe Gen5 x16

• Power supply: 800 W (flexible 500W/800W/1000W redundant options)
• Chassis: Tower (4U)

How to use

Install the tower server in a secure, temperature-controlled equipment room or office area with adequate ventilation. Populate memory and storage according to performance and capacity requirements, and install any optional HPE Smart Array controller or network cards in the available expansion slots. Configure RAID using the embedded VROC or selected HPE Smart Array controller, and set up the operating system on an NVMe or other configured boot drive. Use the dedicated or shared network port for management and enable HPE iLO to perform remote monitoring, firmware updates, and automated alerts.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, maintain regular firmware and iLO updates, use ECC DDR5 memory configurations, implement RAID and redundant power options appropriate to your availability needs, and schedule routine backups. Follow HPE thermal and clearance guidelines when installing the 4U tower to ensure optimal cooling.
