HPE ProLiant ML350p Gen8 Parts
The HPE ProLiant ML350p Gen8 is the two-socket 5U tower built on the Intel C600 chipset, taking Xeon E5-2600 and E5-2600 v2 processors across 24 DDR3 slots and a drive front end that grows from eight bays to twenty-four. Every part below is genuine HPE, available new and refurbished, and tested for compatibility before it ships. Live pricing for each part number appears in the tables further down this page.
ML350p Gen8 Platform at a Glance
- Form factor: tower or rack at 5U, 18.19 x 8.58 x 29.13 inches on its feet and up to 114.84 lb fully populated
- Processors: up to two Intel Xeon E5-2600 or E5-2600 v2, giving 4 to 24 cores and up to 30MB of L3 cache
- Memory: 24 DDR3 slots, four channels per processor and three DIMMs per channel, reaching 768GB with LRDIMMs, 384GB with RDIMMs or 128GB with UDIMMs
- Drive bays: a standard cage of eight hot-plug SFF or six hot-plug LFF bays, expandable to 24 SFF or 18 LFF; the two cage types cannot be mixed
- Maximum internal storage: HPE documents 72TB on eighteen 4TB LFF drives and 28.8TB on twenty-four 1.2TB SFF SAS drives
- Storage controller: embedded HPE Smart Array P420i, Zero Memory or with 512MB, 1GB or 2GB of flash backed write cache
- Networking: an embedded HPE 1Gb Ethernet 4-port 331i Adapter plus a dedicated 1Gb iLO 4 port — five RJ-45 jacks in all
- Expansion: nine slots, eight PCIe 3.0 and one PCIe 2.0; slots 5 to 9 need the second processor
- Power and cooling: Common Slot hot-plug supplies at 460W, 750W and 1200W with optional 1+1 redundancy, and three hot-plug fans, four with the redundant fan kit
- Acoustics: 22 dBA declared bystander sound pressure at idle on a single-processor build, 30 dBA operating on a two-processor redundant build, rated FCC Class B
Two things decide most ML350p Gen8 orders: the drive cage and the DDR3 type. The tower ships with one cage of eight SFF or six LFF bays and grows to 24 SFF or 18 LFF across three cages — but SFF and LFF cages cannot be mixed in one server. On memory, Registered, Load Reduced and Unbuffered are distinct technologies that cannot run together, so whichever is fitted today is what an upgrade has to match.

Working on a different tower? We also stock parts for the earlier HPE ProLiant ML350 G6, the following HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen9 and this generation's entry-level tower, the HPE ProLiant ML350e Gen8. The rack server sharing these processors and DDR3 kits is the HPE ProLiant DL380p Gen8; everything else is indexed under HPE parts by server model.
ML350p Gen8 Parts FAQ
Is the ML350p Gen8 a tower or a rack server?
Both. HPE lists the form factor as tower or rack at 5U, and the Tower to Rack Conversion Tray Kit converts a floor-standing machine for rack mounting.
What processors does the ML350p Gen8 support?
Up to two Intel Xeon E5-2600 or E5-2600 v2 processors, for 4 to 24 cores in total. Mixing different processor models in one server is not supported, so a second CPU has to match the one already fitted.
How much memory can an ML350p Gen8 take?
768GB using 32GB Load Reduced DIMMs, 384GB using 16GB Registered DIMMs, or 128GB using Unbuffered DIMMs. The server has 24 slots, but only 12 are available with a single processor installed.
How many drives fit in an ML350p Gen8?
Up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SFF drives or 18 hot-plug 3.5-inch LFF drives, built up from a standard cage of eight SFF or six LFF bays. SFF and LFF cages cannot be mixed in the same server.
Is the ML350p Gen8 quiet enough for an office?
HPE declares 22 dBA bystander sound pressure at idle on a single-processor non-redundant build, rising to 30 dBA operating on a two-processor redundant build, and rates the server FCC Class B. Added options raise those figures.
Is the ML350p Gen8 still worth buying parts for?
It is a widely deployed tower and its parts are plentiful. The platform shipped in quite different configurations - three cage options, four cache options on the embedded controller, two processor generations - so matching a part to the exact machine you own matters more here than on a simpler server.
