HPE P83291-005 ProLiant DL360 Gen11 1U Rack Server
The HPE P83291-005 is a configured-to-order ProLiant DL360 Gen11 1U rack server specced with an Intel Xeon Gold 5416S processor, 64GB of DDR5 memory (2x32GB), and an 8-bay small form-factor drive cage populated with SSDs. At 72 lb and 38.90 x 23.60 x 9.50 inches, this is a dense, fully configured system ready for data center or server-room deployment. If you are searching for this unit, note it is also referenced as P83291 005 without the hyphen.
Overview
The DL360 Gen11 platform is HPE's single-socket and dual-socket 1U workhorse for compute-intensive workloads where rack density matters. This particular configuration — part number P83291-005, manufactured in Mexico — ships as a complete, pre-integrated system. The 8-bay SFF drive cage with SSD population means no spinning-disk latency penalties, which matters for VMS database I/O, analytics inference tasks, or virtual machine storage. The 2x32GB DDR5 memory configuration provides 64GB total, enough headroom for mid-scale virtualized security workloads or a dedicated NVR/VMS server role.
Key Considerations for Buyers
- Physical footprint: At 38.90 inches deep and 72 lb, verify your rack has adequate depth clearance and rail/shelf weight capacity before ordering — standard 4-post racks handle this, but half-depth or wall-mount enclosures will not.
- Drive configuration: The 8SFF SSD designation indicates the chassis is set up for 2.5-inch solid-state drives. Confirm the specific drive capacities and whether they are HPE-branded options before integrating into an existing storage policy.
- Memory: 2x32GB leaves six DIMM slots open on a standard DL360 Gen11 motherboard, providing a clear upgrade path if workload memory requirements grow.
- Country of origin: Manufactured in Mexico (MX) — relevant for procurement teams verifying TAA or NDAA compliance requirements at the component level; confirm with HPE directly for compliance documentation on this specific SKU.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What processor does the P83291-005 include?
A: The product name encodes an Intel Xeon Gold 5416S. Confirm the exact stepping and TDP with HPE's QuickSpecs document for this part number before finalizing thermal and power planning.
Q: How much memory does the P83291-005 ship with?
A: The configuration includes 2x32GB, for 64GB total. The DL360 Gen11 platform supports additional DIMM slots for future expansion.
Q: What is the weight and rack depth of the P83291-005?
A: 72 lb, 38.90 inches deep x 23.60 inches wide x 9.50 inches tall. Confirm rack depth and weight capacity before installation.
Q: Where is the P83291-005 manufactured?
A: Country of origin is Mexico (MX). Contact HPE for compliance documentation if TAA or NDAA verification is required for your procurement.
The P83291-005 is a factory-configured HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 with a specific BOM — Xeon Gold 5416S, 64GB DDR5, 8-bay SFF SSD — in a 72 lb, 38.90-inch-deep 1U chassis. That depth and weight combination is the first thing to check before committing a rack slot.
Technical Highlights:
- 8-Bay SFF SSD Cage: All-flash storage eliminates rotational latency — relevant for VMS platforms running simultaneous write streams from multiple camera channels alongside motion-search read I/O.
- 64GB DDR5 (2x32GB): Adequate for a dedicated VMS server or mid-scale virtualization host; six DIMM slots remain open for expansion without reconfiguring the base system.
- 1U Form Factor (9.50 in H): Single rack unit minimizes vertical footprint in high-density server rooms — pairs cleanly with top-of-rack PoE switching in a compact security infrastructure stack.
Deployment Considerations:
- At 38.90 inches deep and 72 lb, measure your rack cabinet interior depth and confirm rail kit compatibility with the DL360 Gen11 chassis before the unit ships — shallow or non-standard cabinets are a common install blocker on this class of server.
- The product name encodes the configuration, but verify exact SSD part numbers, drive capacities, and HPE SmartArray controller version from HPE QuickSpecs before integrating into an existing storage or backup policy.
Best positioned as a dedicated VMS recording server or virtualization host in a physical security operations center — the all-SSD 8-bay configuration handles the sustained mixed read/write profile of multi-channel video recording without the bottlenecks common on hybrid drive builds.
