HPE DL360 G11 4514Y 8SFF MR408I-O SVR - P72992-005

HPE P72992-005 ProLiant DL360 Gen11 Rack Server

The HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11, ordered as P72992-005, is a 1U rack server built around the Intel Xeon Silver 4514Y processor, configured with eight Small Form Factor (8SFF) drive bays and the HPE MR408i-o storage controller. It is a purpose-built, space-efficient compute platform suited to environments where rack density matters — including network video recording, edge analytics, and enterprise infrastructure deployments. At 50 lb shipping weight and 36 × 22 × 10 in overall dimensions, plan your rack and freight logistics accordingly before ordering.

Platform Overview

The DL360 Gen11 is HPE's current-generation 1U two-socket rack platform. The P72992-005 configuration ships with an Intel Xeon Silver 4514Y — a 16-core processor in the Sapphire Rapids family, targeted at mid-range compute workloads where core count and memory bandwidth matter more than peak single-thread frequency. For rack servers running surveillance VMS backends, AI inference at the edge, or virtualized security infrastructure, this processor tier delivers a practical balance of throughput and power draw.

Storage Configuration

Eight SFF drive bays paired with the HPE MR408i-o controller give you direct-attach NVMe and SAS/SATA flexibility depending on drive selection. The MR408i-o is an OCP 3.0 form-factor controller — leaner on PCIe slot consumption than a traditional HBA, which preserves expansion slots for additional NICs or accelerators. For high-channel NVR workloads or AI compute nodes requiring fast local storage, verify your drive SKUs separately; this server SKU covers the base platform only.

Deployment Context

The P72992-005 (often searched as P72992 005) ships from manufacturing origins in Mexico and the United States. At this weight and footprint, two-person installation in a standard 19-inch rack is the expected norm — factor that into your site prep. This platform integrates naturally with enterprise network switches and HPE iLO management infrastructure for out-of-band provisioning. For teams deploying alongside IP camera infrastructure or AI-driven analytics stacks, the DL360 Gen11 provides the compute backbone — pair it with appropriate GPU or accelerator options based on your inference workload. Review your PoE and network planning before finalizing the full deployment bill of materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What processor does the HPE P72992-005 include?

A: The P72992-005 is configured with an Intel Xeon Silver 4514Y processor, as indicated in the product name. The 4514Y is a 16-core Sapphire Rapids-generation Xeon Silver designed for mid-range enterprise server workloads.

Q: How many drive bays does this server support?

A: This configuration includes 8 Small Form Factor (SFF) drive bays, managed by the HPE MR408i-o OCP storage controller.

Q: What is the shipping weight of the P72992-005?

A: The verified shipping weight is 50 lb, with overall dimensions of 36 × 22 × 10 inches. Plan accordingly for freight and two-person rack installation.

Q: Where is the HPE P72992-005 manufactured?

A: Country of origin is listed as MX (Mexico) and US (United States) per distribution records.

Q: Does this server come with drives, memory, or operating system included?

A: Based on available evidence, this SKU covers the base server platform. Drives, memory, and OS are not confirmed as included — verify your full BOM against HPE configuration documentation before ordering.

The P72992-005 is the DL360 Gen11 in the configuration most commonly specified for mid-range enterprise compute — Xeon Silver 4514Y with 8 SFF bays and the MR408i-o OCP controller. At 50 lb, this is not a light-lift server; budget for a two-person installation and verify your rack's weight rating before committing to a high-density deployment.

Technical Highlights:

• Intel Xeon Silver 4514Y: 16-core Sapphire Rapids processor — enough headroom for multi-channel VMS workloads or containerized analytics services without stepping up to Gold-tier licensing costs.
• 8 SFF Drive Bay Configuration: Eight small form factor bays give you meaningful raw storage or NVMe capacity in a 1U footprint — relevant if you're running on-server video retention rather than external NAS.
• MR408i-o OCP Controller: The OCP 3.0 form factor keeps PCIe slots free for NICs or accelerators — an important consideration if your workload eventually needs a GPU or additional 25GbE connectivity.

Deployment Considerations:

• At 36 × 22 × 10 in and 50 lb, confirm your rack depth and available weight capacity before purchasing — some edge racks and older mid-depth cabinets won't accommodate this platform without a rail kit verified for DL360 Gen11.
• Memory, drives, and OS are not confirmed included in this SKU — this is a critical gap to close with your HPE channel contact before finalizing your order, particularly if you're building a turn-key VMS or analytics node.

The P72992-005 is a practical fit for a centralized surveillance or AI analytics server room where you need current-gen Xeon compute in a dense 1U chassis — specifically where rack space is at a premium and you're sizing storage to the application rather than buying a pre-configured bundle.
