HPE ProLiant ML110 G7 Rack Options
Genuine HPE console and input options for the HPE ProLiant ML110 G7, new and refurbished. This is a 4U micro ATX tower, not a rack server, so what HPE files under rack options is console hardware — USB keyboard and mouse kits and KVM server console switches — alongside the conversion tray that racks this chassis.
ML110 G7 Rack Option Specifications
- Form factor: micro ATX tower, 4U, measuring 14.4 x 6.9 x 18.6 in (36.7 x 17.5 x 47.25 cm)
- Weight: 12.20kg (26.84 lb) lightly loaded as a non-hot-plug LFF server, up to 21.40kg (47.08 lb) fully loaded as a hot-plug SFF one
- Rack mounting: through the HPE Tower to Rack Conversion Tray Universal Kit; HPE lists no rail kit for the tower itself
- Input kit listed here: an HPE USB BFR with PVC Free keyboard and mouse kit in the US layout, one of more than a dozen national layouts HPE documents
- KVM console switches: 0x2x8 and 0x2x16 analog switches, 0x2x16 and 0x2x32 G2 switches with virtual media and CAC software, and 1x1Ex8, 2x1Ex16 and 4x1Ex32 IP console switches
- Console connections: one video connector on integrated Matrox G200eH graphics with 16MB of video memory, one serial port, and nine USB 2.0 ports — four rear, four front, one internal
This is a 4U tower, so there are no rails to buy. HPE documents rack mounting through the Tower to Rack Conversion Tray Universal Kit, and files console hardware — USB keyboard and mouse kits and KVM server console switches — under rack options instead. For remote work, iLO 3 is already embedded and reachable from a web browser.
Do you need a KVM switch, or will iLO 3 do the job?
| Task | What it needs |
|---|---|
| First power-on, firmware setup and OS install | A keyboard, mouse and monitor at the server, or iLO 3 |
| Day-to-day administration | Neither — the network, or iLO 3 from a browser |
| One console in front of several servers in a room | An analog KVM console switch |
| Console access to several servers over the network | A KVM IP console switch |
| Putting this tower into a rack | The Tower to Rack Conversion Tray Universal Kit, at 4U |
For a single tower on a shelf, a keyboard and mouse kit covers the work done at the machine and iLO 3 covers the rest — HPE describes it as functioning without additional software and reachable from any location through a web browser. KVM switches earn their place when several servers share one console, and the choice between an analog and an IP switch is whether that console sits in the same room.
Choosing the Right ML110 G7 Rack Option
- Match the keyboard layout to the country. The kit here is US; HPE documents the same USB BFR with PVC Free kit in more than a dozen other layouts.
- Count the servers, not the ports. Analog console switches put one local console in front of several machines; IP console switches do the same job across a network.
- Mind the airflow in a third-party rack. HPE calls for at least 2.75 inches (7 cm) between installed equipment and the rack side panels, and blanking panels in every empty U.
- iLO 3 may remove the need entirely. It is embedded here, so test any console purchase against what the remote console already does.

A server that runs headless still needs the parts that do the work — browse ML110 G7 memory, hard drives, storage controllers, networking adapters and power supplies, or the full ML110 G7 parts listing and HPE parts by server model.
