HPE P77246-005 ProLiant DL325 Gen11 1U Rack Server
The HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen11, model P77246-005, is a 1U single-socket rack server built around the AMD EPYC 9124 processor with 64GB of memory and eight Small Form Factor drive bays — a configuration that fits compute-dense rack environments where per-unit footprint and I/O flexibility both matter. At 20.30 lb and 1U, it ships ready for standard 19-inch rack deployment without the overhead of a larger chassis.
Overview
The P77246-005 (often searched as P77246 005) is a North America-configured variant of the DL325 Gen11 line. The DL325 platform is HPE's single-socket 1U offering for workloads that benefit from AMD EPYC's high core-count architecture — analytics, virtualization, and edge compute among them. The 8SFF bay layout gives you flexibility across SAS, SATA, or NVMe drive options depending on your storage controller and backplane configuration.
Key Features
- AMD EPYC 9124 Processor: The EPYC 9124 brings high per-core throughput in a 1U envelope — relevant when you need to run multiple concurrent workloads or VMs without moving to a larger 2U chassis and the rack space cost that comes with it.
- 64GB Factory Memory: 64GB is a practical starting point for mid-range virtualization or analytics workloads. HPE DL325 Gen11 platforms support memory expansion if your workload grows, so this configuration isn't a ceiling.
- 8x Small Form Factor Drive Bays: Eight SFF bays in 1U is a meaningful ratio — you get enough local storage capacity for OS, swap, and working datasets without stepping up to a larger form factor. SFF drives also run cooler and draw less power than LFF equivalents at scale.
- 1U Chassis — 20.30 lb Shipping Weight: At 20.30 lb, two-person rack installation is straightforward without a server lift. The 1U profile keeps your rack density high — relevant in co-location environments where U-space carries a real cost.
- Mexico (MX) Country of Origin: Manufactured in Mexico, which is relevant for procurement teams verifying supply-chain origin for compliance or preference programs.
- North America Configuration: The NA designation confirms this unit ships with North American power and regulatory compliance — no adapter or re-certification required for US and Canadian deployments.
Integration and Compatibility
The DL325 Gen11 platform integrates with HPE's iLO management stack for out-of-band server management, and supports standard IPMI-compatible management tools. Drive bay compatibility depends on the installed storage controller — verify your SAS/SATA/NVMe requirements against the specific controller option selected. For network video recorder or edge analytics deployments, pair with a supported PoE network switch and confirm VMS software compatibility with the installed OS and HPE driver stack. Review the broader HPE server and storage catalog for complementary platforms if your workload requires 2U or dual-socket configurations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What processor does the P77246-005 include?
A: The P77246-005 is configured with an AMD EPYC 9124 processor, as encoded in the product model string for this North America variant.
Q: How much memory does this server ship with?
A: This configuration ships with 64GB of memory, as indicated in the product name designation (64G).
Q: How many drive bays does the DL325 Gen11 P77246-005 have?
A: The P77246-005 includes 8 Small Form Factor (SFF) drive bays.
Q: What is the shipping weight of the P77246-005?
A: The verified shipping weight is 20.30 lb per distribution data.
Q: Is the P77246-005 compatible with standard 19-inch racks?
A: Yes — the DL325 Gen11 is a 1U server designed for standard 19-inch rack deployment. Verify rail kit compatibility with your specific rack enclosure before ordering.
The P77246-005 is the kind of platform I recommend when a deployment needs a single-socket 1U density target and doesn't want to over-provision into a dual-socket chassis — the EPYC 9124 with 64GB and 8 SFF bays in 1U is a practical fit for edge compute or mid-range analytics roles where rack U-count is managed tightly.
Technical Highlights:
- 1U / 20.30 lb chassis: At under 21 lb, two-person rack installation is manageable without a lift — relevant in field deployments or co-lo environments with constrained staging space.
- 8 SFF bays: SFF drives in a 1U envelope keep thermal and power density under control at scale compared to LFF equivalents — a meaningful operational factor across a multi-rack deployment.
- North America configuration: The NA designation removes any guesswork on power supply and regulatory compliance for US and Canadian sites — no re-certification, no adapter sourcing.
Deployment Considerations:
- Rail kit compatibility should be verified against your specific rack enclosure before installation — not all HPE rail kits fit every third-party rack without adapter brackets.
- The evidence base for this SKU is limited to distribution-feed attributes; confirm full technical specifications including storage controller type, NIC configuration, and memory slot count against the HPE QuickSpecs document for this exact part number before finalizing a BOM.
Best positioned for edge analytics, VMS backend, or light virtualization in a 1U-constrained rack environment where single-socket EPYC density is the deciding factor.
