everybody this is rich DRA Felina with cashed all TT here for another great unboxing there’s something very exciting today here from HPE they have a brand new micro silver out it’s their generation 10 this is the model ml110 i believe it’s a pretty full-featured kind of mini Hp server in a box mini for you know a server it’s still as you can see a big box if nothing else I believe I know what the form factor is but we’re gonna take a look as soon as we get it out of the box so why don’t we do that right now we have our knife here already set up and we’re gonna see it there was um some damage
if we can see this Article here from United Parcel Service appreciate that but it looks like great packaging on the part of HPE so I think we’re gonna be okay like I said this is the generation 10 micro server so in a long lineage for HP now HPE this is though distinct from anything on the you know that obviously their consumer company is completely unrelated to this and so lots of good stuff so we have some documentation warranty information here don’t know why it needs to be in a plastic bag so that’s all good let’s open this up here you can see lots of nice foam very very secure okay more of that goodness and see if we can get this guy off here all right here we go alright I guess
I will just pick this guy up here it doesn’t look like there’s all that much in the box other than the micro server I know the moment of truth I don’t mean to tease or anything [Music] so this is the HPE ProLiant microserver ml1 110 generation 10 and it’s a fun one it’s pretty well loaded let’s open the box here it appears to be a pull tab on the bottom so we’re not just piece of tape so I’ll just use the knife and open up the bag here so it’s a pretty standard ATX looking configuration here it’s not wouldn’t be too unfamiliar if you’re used to building pcs or just have a desktop sitting under your desk but if we look around the back here I think we’ll be able to see that it you know has some very server like configuration here so we have just a VGA for video out not really a concern obviously with a server price list
we have dual Ethernet on the back here we have their their remote configuration diagnostic of their ILO ports for USB I believe USB 3 ports on the back there but you know not not a lot for i/o on the box at least on the back end here what becomes interesting is a couple of things one we take this guy off here I’m pretty sure this just pops off I can get it figure it out maybe we’ll do that a little later but anyway behind here you can actually access some front accessible hard drive slots they’re not hot swappable from what i believe but it will support up to 8 drives whether SAS SATA that kind of stuff and really has a lot of room for memory to mention we have a couple of drives from HP that we’re gonna put in here when we start doing our testing so
should be very exciting the other thing I want to do is open it up so let’s see here it just uses thumb screws to open it up again very DIY kind of PC approach there appreciate that pretty typical thumb screw there okay so if we can look in here it’s not fully kitted out or anything like that it does it’s it’s ready to go out of the box I should say but there’s plenty of room for expansion as well underneath this beautiful heatsink right here we have a Intel Xeon silver processor it’s a 4110 processor so you get eight cores there 16 threads 11 megabytes of l3 cache and I think it operates at 2.1 gigahertz I can turbo up to about 35 36 or something like that so so pretty powerful there there are a total of six memory DIMM slots right now only once populated although it does have 16 gigabyte gimm in there so a lot of a pretty decent amount of memory for you know a single dim I think you can do up to 192 gigabytes theoretically I’m not going to be putting in that much
memory into this but that’s because I don’t want to pay that much for a memory so there we go and you can see here there aren’t any drive bays that are readily accessible from the front that’s because they want you to just go along the back here so I think this is the release maybe for the front maybe that’s Dana do something you know what I cannot figure out how to do that and I feel like a fool anyway there are hard drive slots in the front here because I can’t figure that out there’s also a slimline or at least a slot for a slimline a optical drive I don’t think most organizations are really gonna use that may be useful I do think it’s very funny that it is slimline they can’t put a full-size one in there because this is not exactly a spelt box they do HP does make like a little half-height one of these it looks like a shuttle PC or something like that but I think this is you know something for SMB that’s going to need you know some basic file serving capabilities maybe an email server on here do some basic virtualization and stuff like that this is a really compact package I think it
starts at just over $1000 for base configurations I’m not sure what this one retails for but as you can see you know out of the box a very powerful processor a lot of room for memory expansion up to eight drives in here if I could ever get that off and yeah so I think certainly compelling for a for an SMB um the other thing here is because of the measurements of this this can actually be rack mounted in a four and a half you configuration and that’s part of the other benefit of having the drives in the front there that you could access those if you decide to slap it in a rack it all fits to spec other than being four and a half you which is just kind of odd but that’s only so much you can
do there other than that’s yeah that’s the HPE microserver I think maybe we’ll do a little companion maybe showing a little bit more up close of the motherboard itself and yeah so let’s take a look so this is a look inside the HPE microserver ml110 lots of ports here you can see there are quite a few PCI ports these are PCI 3 ports and I believe it supports up to four of those going I don’t believe they’re at full 16 lanes we’ll have the stats on that but I’m pretty sure they’re at least going to be eight or four lanes per so that’ll give you plenty for additional IO they also say it can supports double Heights and a single height graphics accelerator so if you’re doing any kind of analytics or
you know other things that need graphical acceleration there is a pretty decent amount of room again for something that fits into a pretty standard ATX package it’s pretty nice you can see here there are the three dim memory DIMM slots on either side there the one is populated with a fully loaded memory dim right there big beautiful heatsink notably there’s not a fan on there and again that think that’s why you’re gonna want those air baffles on there to make sure that air flow kind of keeps going through there it’s an 85 watt Xeon which is pretty remarkable for eight cores the other thing I wanted to just point out really quick here as well there’s the ASIC that runs their ILO config and and security stuff on here just sir that’s a generation five I believe for that but the other thing here is there is a micro SD card slot I didn’t look into what it’s for but it is weird to see a micro SD card slots I’m assuming it’s for configuration or security operating system sure why not
