Description

The HP 740897-B21 represents a ProLiant ML350e Gen8 v2 server, specifically designed as a configure-to-order (CTO) unit with support for 8 Small Form Factor (SFF) hot-plug drive bays. This configuration emphasizes flexibility and ease of maintenance, allowing for drives to be added, removed, or replaced without shutting down the server, thereby minimizing downtime. The ML350e Gen8 v2 is a tower server that balances performance, expandability, and affordability, making it a suitable choice for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and remote office/branch office (ROBO) environments. This server platform is built to accommodate Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 series processors, offering a range of performance options to suit different application needs. It supports DDR3 ECC Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs), providing data integrity and reliability crucial for enterprise workloads. The inclusion of multiple PCIe expansion slots allows for the addition of specialized network cards, storage controllers, or other peripherals, further enhancing the server's capabilities and adaptability to evolving business requirements. Management of the HP 740897-B21 is facilitated by HP's Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) technology, which provides remote monitoring, control, and deployment capabilities. This feature is essential for IT administrators managing servers in distributed environments. The hot-plug drive bays, combined with the robust ProLiant architecture, ensure high availability and simplified serviceability. As a configure-to-order model, the exact specifications regarding processors, memory, and storage controllers can be customized to meet specific operational demands.
