HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen11 1U 8x 2.5in SFF 4th/5th Gen Xeon Scalable Server (CTO)

The HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen11 is a 1U, single-socket rack server for 4th and 5th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors. It is sold configure-to-order and suits branch offices, edge sites, web and application servers, and any role where one processor is enough and a two-socket server would be wasted. This listing starts from the 8 SFF chassis, HPE part P52766-B21.

The single socket accepts processors with up to 60 cores and 270W. Sixteen DDR5 DIMM slots give a maximum of about 2TB using 128GB RDIMMs. The chassis is an 8+2 SFF design for SAS, SATA and NVMe drives, with a choice of x1 or x4 tri-mode U.3 backplane kits. Hardware RAID comes from HPE's Gen11 controllers: the MR408i-o, MR416i-o and MR216i-o in OCP form, the MR416i-p and MR216i-p PCIe cards, and the SR932i-p.

Unlike the Network Choice DL360 and DL380, the DL320 Gen11 has two embedded 1GbE ports from a Broadcom BCM5720 controller. One OCP 3.0 slot and two full-height PCIe 5.0 x16 slots take faster network cards or other adapters. Flex Slot power supplies are offered from 500W to 1800-2200W, and iLO 6 provides remote management.

ICT Devices quotes the DL320 Gen11 to your configuration and gives today's price on request. Useful points to confirm:

• Processor model, keeping the 270W limit in mind
• Memory size against the 16-slot, 2TB ceiling
• x1 or x4 backplane, depending on whether NVMe speed matters
• Whether the two embedded 1GbE ports are enough or an OCP card is needed
• GPU-heavy builds use a different base chassis (P61218-B21), not this one
