Description
Meet the HPE ProLiant ML110 Gen11 4.5U Tower Server, a capable, affordable foundation for growing business workloads. Designed for small offices, remote sites, and mid-range deployments, this 4.5U, single-processor powerhouse delivers dependable compute power, flexible storage options, and enterprise-grade manageability. With an Intel Xeon Silver 4410Y processor clocking in at 2.0 GHz, 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, and a Serial ATA Controller, the ML110 Gen11 is optimized for steady throughput, reliable file services, light virtualization, backups, and essential database workloads. Its modular design and optional rackable chassis provide a clear path from tower deployment to rack-ready scalability, helping you protect your IT investment as your needs evolve.
- Single-processor performance with Intel Xeon Silver 4410Y: The ML110 Gen11 is engineered around a dedicated 1-socket workbook, delivering strong multi-threaded performance for everyday business tasks. The 2.0 GHz base clock supports responsive workloads, while efficient cores handle concurrent requests, making it a dependable backbone for file services, line-of-business applications, and light virtualization. This processor choice balances speed and power efficiency, which is ideal for SMBs seeking predictability and cost-efficiency in server performance.
- 32 GB DDR4 RAM for smooth multi-tasking: With ample memory, the ML110 Gen11 handles multitasking and memory-intensive services with ease. The DDR4 memory improves data access and overall system responsiveness, enabling faster database queries, smoother virtualization, and better performance during peak usage periods. This memory capacity helps teams operate more efficiently, whether running collaboration apps, databases, or backups alongside other services.
- Flexible storage configuration via Serial ATA Controller: The built-in Serial ATA Controller supports adaptable storage layouts, enabling you to configure operating system drives, data volumes, and backup storage to suit your workloads. This flexibility is especially valuable for SMBs managing multiple data streams, reducing the need for immediate, large-scale hardware refreshes as storage needs grow over time.
- 4.5U tower form factor with future rack-ready potential: The ML110 Gen11 uses a practical 4.5U tower design that fits well in office spaces with limited rack footprint. When your environment scales, an optional rackable chassis transforms the tower into a rack-mounted server, delivering growth potential without a complete infrastructure overhaul. This transition capability protects your initial IT investment while aligning with evolving deployment strategies.
- Enterprise-grade manageability and security: Built with reliability and ease of administration in mind, the ML110 Gen11 offers enterprise-grade firmware and remote management capabilities. Health monitoring, firmware updates, and streamlined remote administration help keep systems secure and up to date, reducing downtime and simplifying ongoing maintenance for IT teams.

how to install HPE ProLiant ML110 Gen11
- Plan your deployment: Decide whether you will use the tower configuration or install the optional rackable chassis. Confirm adequate space, cooling, and power availability in your environment before unboxing the server. Gather your operating system installation media, required drivers, and any management software you plan to use.
- Unbox and prepare the hardware: Remove the server from its packaging, inspect for any shipping damage, and ensure that you have access to power, network, and a monitor if you plan local installation. If you are converting to a rack deployment, prepare the rack rails and mounting hardware as specified by HP.
- Power up and verify POST: Connect a power source, attach a monitor if needed, and power on the system. Enter the system setup (BIOS/UEFI) during boot to verify that the Intel Xeon Silver processor and 32 GB of DDR4 RAM are recognized and operating correctly. Update firmware if a newer version is available from HP's support repositories.
- Configure storage and boot options: In the BIOS/UEFI or participating management interface, configure the Serial ATA Controller as per your intended OS deployment. Create or select the OS drive and prepare any additional data/backup volumes. Install your chosen operating system or hypervisor (Windows Server, Linux, VMware ESXi, etc.) from your installation media.
- Set up remote management and security: Enable and configure the server’s remote management capabilities for health monitoring, alerts, and firmware updates. Apply security best practices, such as configuring a strong administrator password, enabling required firewall rules, and updating firmware for all critical components. Verify that the system reports healthy status and that backup and monitoring tools are communicating correctly.
- Post-install checks and validation: Install necessary drivers and management agents, run basic stress and health tests, and verify that the storage volumes are accessible. Document the server’s configuration and ensure that backups, monitoring, and access controls are functioning as intended for day-to-day operations.
