HPE P69310-005 ProLiant ML350 Gen11 Tower Server
The HPE P69310-005 is a ProLiant ML350 Gen11 tower server configured with an Intel Xeon Silver 4410Y processor and an HPE MR408i-O storage controller, targeted at the AMS (Americas) regional market. At 104 lb and measuring 39.50 x 23.50 x 13.00 in, this is a full-size tower chassis — plan accordingly for floor space and load-bearing capacity in your server room or wiring closet. If you're searching for this unit, note that P69310-005 is also commonly searched as P69310 005.
Overview
The ML350 Gen11 sits in HPE's mid-range tower server family, designed for workloads that need local processing headroom without requiring a rack-mounted chassis. The AMS designation confirms this unit is sourced and warranted for North American deployments. The included MR408i-O controller (HPE's OEM Broadcom MegaRAID adapter) handles local storage management, which matters if you're running onboard RAID for OS redundancy or video storage arrays without a separate SAN.
The 4410Y is a 12-core Xeon Silver — a practical mid-tier choice for running VMS software, analytics workloads, or virtualized security infrastructure where you need real multi-threaded throughput but can't justify the power draw and cost of a Gold- or Platinum-class CPU. If your deployment involves concurrent camera streams, motion analytics, or database-backed access control, the 4410Y's core count handles parallel I/O without throttling.
Key Features
- 104 lb Chassis Weight: At 104 lb, this is a two-person lift and requires a reinforced equipment location — verify your floor rating and use a server lift for safe positioning. Don't underestimate this during site planning.
- 39.50 x 23.50 x 13.00 in Form Factor: Tower footprint (not rack-mountable in this configuration without a tower-to-rack conversion kit) — gives you flexibility in environments where rack space is constrained but a dedicated server room isn't available.
- Xeon Silver 4410Y Processor: 12 cores provide genuine parallel processing capacity for concurrent VMS streams, edge analytics, or mixed security workloads without CPU contention during peak recording hours.
- MR408i-O Storage Controller: The OEM MegaRAID controller supports hardware RAID configurations, which is essential for data integrity on a video storage or access-control database server — software RAID alone is not advisable for 24/7 recording environments.
- AMS Regional Configuration: Sourced for the Americas market, confirming region-appropriate power specs, regulatory compliance markings, and support routing.
- UNSPSC 43211502: Classified as a server product — relevant for procurement teams that use commodity codes for purchasing approval workflows.
Integration & Compatibility
As a standard HPE ProLiant Gen11 platform, the ML350 Gen11 is compatible with HPE's iLO management interface, supporting remote console, health monitoring, and firmware updates — standard practice for any unattended server deployment. The MR408i-O controller is compatible with HPE's storage configuration utilities. For VMS deployments, verify your VMS vendor's server certification list against the ML350 Gen11 — most major platforms (Genetec, Milestone, Avigilon) publish validated hardware lists, and the Gen11 platform is broadly supported.
For network video recorders and server-based VMS platforms, pairing this unit with a managed PoE switch infrastructure ensures clean IP camera connectivity without separate injectors. Review HPE's HPE server lineup if you need to compare this configuration against alternative ML350 Gen11 SKUs with different processor or storage controller options. Buyers evaluating total system cost should also consider surveillance storage expansion options compatible with the ML350 chassis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What processor does the HPE P69310-005 include?
A: The P69310-005 is configured with an Intel Xeon Silver 4410Y processor, a 12-core mid-range data center CPU suited for VMS, analytics, and virtualized security workloads.
Q: Is the P69310-005 a rack server or tower server?
A: It is a tower server. The chassis measures 39.50 x 23.50 x 13.00 in and weighs 104 lb. A tower-to-rack conversion kit would be required for rack-mount deployment.
Q: What storage controller is included with the P69310-005?
A: The MR408i-O (HPE OEM MegaRAID-based controller) is included, supporting hardware RAID configurations for local storage management.
Q: What region is the P69310-005 configured for?
A: This is the AMS (Americas) configuration, sourced for North American deployments with appropriate regional power and regulatory specifications.
Q: How much does the P69310-005 weigh, and what are its dimensions?
A: The unit weighs 104 lb and measures 39.50 in (L) x 23.50 in (W) x 13.00 in (H). Plan for a two-person lift and verify floor load capacity at the installation site.
The P69310-005 is a physically substantial machine — 104 lb in a 39.50 x 23.50 x 13.00 in tower chassis — and that weight is worth calling out early in any site survey. I've seen deployments where a server this size gets placed on inadequate shelving or in a closet that can't handle the thermal load. The ML350 Gen11 platform with the 4410Y and MR408i-O is a capable mid-range stack, but the physical planning is where projects quietly go wrong.
Technical Highlights:
- Xeon Silver 4410Y (12-core): Enough parallel throughput for concurrent VMS recording, motion analytics, and database queries without CPU saturation — the right spec tier for a 32–64 camera VMS server without over-speccing into Gold-class cost territory.
- MR408i-O Controller: Hardware RAID via the OEM MegaRAID adapter protects against single-drive failure on a 24/7 recording volume — don't skip RAID configuration on first setup.
- 104 lb / Tower Form Factor: Tower deployment avoids rack licensing costs and works in environments where a full rack isn't justified, but the 104 lb chassis demands proper site preparation — reinforced flooring, equipment dolly, and two-person installation minimum.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your VMS vendor's Gen11 compatibility list before committing — most major platforms certify against ProLiant generations explicitly, and Gen11 is broadly supported, but confirm for your specific VMS version.
- The AMS regional designation means North American power specs (120/240V) — do not attempt to deploy this unit in regions requiring different power configurations without verifying the PSU spec against your facility.
Best fit for a physical security operations center or mid-size enterprise deployment running a software VMS on dedicated server hardware — specifically where rack space is unavailable or not justified, and where local RAID-protected storage is preferred over SAN-dependent architecture.
