HPE MicroSvr Gen10+ E-2224 NHP 1TB Svr

Overview

The HPE MicroSvr Gen10+ E-2224 NHP 1TB Svr is a compact, high‑performance server designed for small to medium‑sized environments that require reliable compute power without the footprint of larger rack units. Built around the Intel Xeon E‑2224 processor, this Ultra‑Micro Tower delivers robust processing capabilities while maintaining low power consumption and minimal noise.

Processor Architecture

The heart of the system is a single Intel Xeon E-2224 CPU. This quad‑core, 8‑thread processor runs at a base frequency of 3.4 GHz, with Intel Turbo Boost Technology raising the clock to 4.6 GHz under load. The chip is fabricated on a 14 nm process and features an integrated Intel SmartCache of 8 MB. It supports advanced instruction sets including SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX‑2.0, ensuring compatibility with modern workloads.

Memory & Storage

Equipped with a single 16 GB DDR4‑2666 MHz ECC DIMM slot, the server can be expanded up to 131 072 MB of memory, providing ample headroom for virtualization or database applications. The memory controller is part of the Intel C242 chipset, guaranteeing low latency and high throughput.

The system ships with a single 1 TB SATA 6 Gb/s hard drive, spinning at 7200 rpm. The HPE Smart Array S100i SR Software RAID controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10 across up to four drives, allowing flexible data protection strategies. The enclosure can accommodate up to four internal bays.

Connectivity & Expansion

The server offers a robust set of I/O options:

• 4× Ethernet RJ‑45 ports based on the Intel® I350‑AM4 controller, supporting Gigabit speeds and advanced network features.
• 1× VGA port for legacy display support, plus DisplayPort output for modern monitors.
• 2× USB 3.2 Gen 2 (USB 3.1 Gen 2) ports and 4× USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.1 Gen 1) ports, providing high‑speed connectivity for peripherals.
PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot for expansion cards, with a maximum of 16 PCIe lanes available.

Power & Thermal Design

The chassis is engineered for efficient operation:

• 71 W TDP for the processor and 180 W total power consumption, enabling a low‑profile power supply.
Operating temperature range of 10–35 °C with an ambient humidity tolerance of 10–90 % (non‑condensing). Noise level of 21 dBA, making it suitable for office or lab environments where quiet operation is essential.

Form Factor & Physical Characteristics

The Ultra‑Micro Tower measures 245 mm (width) × 118.9 mm (height) × 245 mm (depth), weighing just 4.23 kg. It features a Kensington lock slot for physical security and is built to fit into tight spaces while still providing easy access to internal components.

Management & Compatibility

The server supports remote management protocols such as SNMP v3, IPMI 2.0, and SMASH CLP, enabling administrators to monitor health, firmware updates, and configuration remotely. It is OS‑certified for a range of platforms including Microsoft Windows Server (2016/2019), Red Hat Enterprise Linux (7.x/8.x), ClearOS, and VMware ESXi 6.5/6.7.
