HPE Proliant DL145 GEN11 8024P 2.4GHZ 8C 1P 1X16GB-R 2SFF 1X480GB SSD NC BCM5719 - P87460-005

HPE P87460-005 ProLiant DL145 Gen11 1U AMD EPYC Server

The HPE ProLiant DL145 Gen11, model P87460-005, is a 1U single-socket server configured with an AMD EPYC 8024P processor running at 2.4GHz across 8 cores — a practical entry point for organizations deploying edge compute, light virtualization, or application workloads where rack density and cost per compute unit matter. The base configuration ships with 1x16GB registered DDR5 memory, 1x480GB SSD in a 2SFF backplane, and a Broadcom BCM5719 four-port GbE NIC, giving you a functional starting point without paying for headroom you may not need on day one.

Key Features

• AMD EPYC 8024P, 2.4GHz, 8-Core: The Zen 4c EPYC 8024P is a single-socket processor purpose-built for density-optimized 1U platforms. Eight cores at 2.4GHz handle concurrent application threads without the thermal and cost overhead of a full 16- or 32-core part — right-sized for branch compute, lightweight databases, or dedicated application instances.
• 1x16GB Registered DDR5: The platform ships with a single 16GB DDR5 RDIMM. DDR5 delivers higher per-channel bandwidth than DDR4, which matters for memory-intensive workloads even at modest capacities. This is a base configuration — verify your workload's memory footprint before deploying as-is and plan expansion accordingly.
• 1x480GB SSD, 2SFF Bays: One 480GB SSD is pre-installed; the 2SFF backplane provides a second bay for adding a mirror drive or additional storage tier without chassis modification. SFF form factor keeps the footprint compact inside the 1U enclosure.
• Broadcom BCM5719 NIC: The BCM5719 is a proven four-port GbE controller with broad OS driver support. Four ports give you dedicated traffic segregation — management, data, iSCSI, and a spare — without adding a PCIe NIC on day one.
• 1U, 23.50 x 9.50 x 26.00 in, 27 lb: Standard 1U rack depth of 26 inches fits in most two-post and four-post cabinets without clearance issues. At 27 lb configured, rail installation is a one- or two-person job depending on your rack height.

Integration and Compatibility

The P87460-005 (often searched as P87460 005) ships in a no-optical (NC) configuration, so PXE or USB-based OS deployment is the expected provisioning path. The BCM5719 NIC supports standard PXE boot across Linux and Windows Server environments. For storage expansion beyond the included 480GB SSD, the 2SFF backplane accepts standard 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives depending on the backplane variant — verify the backplane type against your target drive interface before ordering additional media. HPE's HPE server lineup covers broader configurations if your workload demands more cores, memory capacity, or drive bays. If you are building out a rack server deployment and need guidance on right-sizing this platform against your application requirements, pre-sales engineering support is available. For complementary infrastructure, consider pairing with a compatible network switch to support the BCM5719's four GbE ports and a rack UPS or power distribution unit appropriate for 1U server power draw.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What processor does the HPE ProLiant DL145 Gen11 P87460-005 include?

A: The P87460-005 ships with an AMD EPYC 8024P processor — 8 cores, 2.4GHz base clock, single-socket configuration.

Q: How much memory does the P87460-005 come with, and can it be expanded?

A: The base configuration includes 1x16GB registered DDR5. Additional DIMM slots are available on the DL145 Gen11 platform for expansion — verify slot count and maximum supported capacity against HPE's official QuickSpecs document for this SKU before purchasing additional DIMMs.

Q: What storage does the P87460-005 include, and is there room to add more?

A: It ships with one 480GB SSD and a 2SFF backplane, leaving one open SFF bay for an additional drive. Confirm the backplane's interface (SAS or SATA) before ordering expansion drives.

Q: Does the P87460-005 include an optical drive?

A: No. The NC designation in the product name indicates no optical drive. OS deployment should be planned via PXE network boot or USB media.

Q: What NIC is included in the P87460-005?

A: The server ships with a Broadcom BCM5719 four-port GbE NIC, providing four 1GbE ports for traffic segregation or bonding without requiring an add-in card at initial deployment.

The P87460-005 is a straightforward entry-level server configuration — AMD EPYC 8024P at 2.4GHz over 8 cores in a 1U chassis that weighs in at 27 lb fully configured. It is not trying to be a dense compute node; it is trying to be a cost-efficient single-socket platform for workloads that do not justify a larger footprint or a higher core count.

Technical Highlights:

• EPYC 8024P, 8-core, 2.4GHz: The Zen 4c EPYC 8000-series is AMD's density-first line — fewer cores than the flagship 9004 series but significantly lower TDP and price per unit. Eight cores at 2.4GHz covers dedicated application servers, lightweight VMs, or edge inference workloads without overprovisioning.
• 1x16GB DDR5 RDIMM: DDR5 bandwidth is the real advantage here even at a single 16GB stick — the memory subsystem is ready for expansion without a platform change, and DDR5 registered DIMMs at this density are widely available. Do not deploy memory-hungry workloads without auditing your footprint first.
• BCM5719 four-port GbE NIC: Four physical ports on a proven Broadcom controller means you can segment management, storage, and production traffic on day one without PCIe add-in cards consuming your expansion budget. Driver support across Linux distributions and Windows Server is mature.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 2SFF backplane gives you one expansion bay — plan your storage growth strategy before deployment. A single SSD at 480GB fills quickly under OS plus application plus log retention; a second SFF drive for a mirror or a dedicated data volume is worth factoring into the initial order.
• No optical drive means your imaging and provisioning workflow must rely on PXE or USB. Confirm your DHCP/PXE infrastructure is in place before rack deployment, or have a bootable USB image ready.

The DL145 Gen11 in this configuration is a solid fit for branch-office application servers, dedicated monitoring endpoints, or low-density virtualization hosts where a 1U footprint and a single-socket EPYC platform are the right match — not a workhorse for high-core-count parallel workloads, but well-suited to focused, single-application deployments.
