HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen11 P71682-005 rack server Xeon E-2436 2.90 GHz 6-core 32GB DDR5 2x960GB SATA SSD 2x500W

Compact 1U Rack Server

The HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen11 P71682-005 is a 1U rack server built for edge workloads and space-constrained sites. It ships with one Intel Xeon E-2436 processor running at 2.90 GHz with 6 cores and 18 MB cache. The system includes 32 GB of DDR5 UDIMM memory operating at 4800 MT/s. Dual 960 GB SATA SSDs are managed by an HPE MR408i-o Gen11 storage controller with 4 GB cache. Redundant 500 W Flex Slot Platinum power supplies and an embedded 1 Gb 4-port network adapter complete the base configuration.

Suited for Edge and Branch Deployments

This server targets organisations deploying security monitoring, point-of-sale or remote office workloads in a short-depth rack form factor. The single-socket design and two available expansion slots support moderate growth. Buyers who need more than one processor installed or more than two expansion slots should look at larger platforms. The fixed 32 GB memory module occupies one DIMM slot, so maximum capacity is limited by the board design. Workloads demanding higher core counts or greater internal drive density will require a different chassis.

Deciding Specification: Single-Socket Xeon E-2436

The defining attribute is the single Intel Xeon E-2436 processor with 6 cores at 2.90 GHz. This CPU choice fixes the core count, cache size and thermal envelope for the entire system. All other components — memory, storage controller, power supplies and network adapter — are sized around this one-socket configuration. If the application demands a second processor or a higher core count within the same 1U height, this model cannot meet that requirement.
