HP E5603 Xeon 1.60 GHz 2 GB DDR3 rack server

HP ProLiant ML330 G6 tower server

The HP ProLiant ML330 G6 is a 5U tower server built around a single Intel Xeon E5603 quad-core processor running at 1.60 GHz. It ships with 2 GB of DDR3-1333 memory across twelve available slots. The Intel 5500 chipset provides a 4.80 GT/s QuickPath Interconnect. This system suits small businesses or remote offices needing a dependable on-premise platform for file, print or lightweight application services.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a 5U tower chassis, the ML330 G6 uses multiple internal fans to move air across the processor and memory regions. The larger form factor allows lower fan speeds than dense rack units, reducing audible noise in office environments. Power consumption scales with the single installed CPU and the current 2 GB memory configuration, leaving headroom within the redundant supply for additional components.

Maximum memory capacity

Twelve DIMM slots support DDR3-1333/PC3-10600 modules, enabling substantial memory expansion beyond the factory 2 GB. This capacity ceiling determines whether the server can host virtualised workloads, databases or terminal services that demand large RAM footprints. Buyers who need more storage bays or a second processor socket should evaluate other chassis options.
