100738-002 HP ProLiant 5500R Xeon 500 512K 256MB RAM Server System

Introducing the HP 100738-002 Server

The HP ProLiant 5500R Xeon 500 512K (100738-002) is a server, built for organizations that need dependable compute performance. The HPE ProLiant server line is known for reliable operation and straightforward management.

Processor and Compute Power of the 100738-002

Balanced compute and memory resources help applications respond quickly under load. Server platforms are engineered for 24/7 operation in data centers and server rooms. Total cost of ownership depends on performance, efficiency and manageability, not just purchase price. Standardizing on one platform simplifies spares, training and support. Right-sizing hardware to the workload avoids wasted capacity and cost. Reliable infrastructure is the foundation for productive users and satisfied customers.

Storage and Memory Options

Hot-swappable drive bays, where fitted, let you replace drives without downtime. Choose SSDs for fast boot and application performance, and high-capacity HDDs for bulk storage. Populate memory in the order recommended by the manufacturer for best performance. Hardware RAID protects data against single-drive failures. Capacity planning based on real usage avoids both shortages and overspending. Regular reviews of utilization help decide when to upgrade. Matching storage type to workload keeps performance predictable. A well-designed infrastructure supports hybrid and cloud strategies.

Networking, Expansion and Management

Remote management is provided by HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO), letting administrators monitor health, update firmware and access the console out of band. Multiple network ports support teaming, failover and separation of management and data traffic. Expansion slots allow additional network, storage or accelerator cards. Firmware and driver updates from the manufacturer keep the platform secure and stable. Integration with existing monitoring tools gives a single view of the environment. Consistent management across systems reduces administrative effort. Automation of routine tasks frees IT staff for higher-value work. Choosing a recognized brand gives access to documentation, drivers and long-term support.

Where the Server Fits

Organizations deploy it for branch offices, data centers and private cloud deployments. Education, healthcare and government users rely on dependable infrastructure to keep services running. Enterprises can standardize on proven platforms to simplify operations. Managed service providers use standard platforms to deliver consistent services to clients. Small and medium businesses benefit from reliable, centrally managed IT infrastructure. Planning for growth now reduces disruption later. Proven platforms reduce the risk of compatibility problems with business software. Centralized infrastructure is easier to secure and back up than scattered devices.

Uptime, Reliability and Protection

Redundant fans and power supplies, where fitted, keep the server running if a component fails. Firmware security features and secure boot options, depending on generation, help protect against tampering. Regular patching of firmware and operating systems is key to server security. Hot-plug components, where supported, reduce maintenance downtime. Document configurations so systems can be rebuilt quickly if needed. A tested backup and recovery plan is essential for any business data. Monitor system health regularly to catch issues early.

Setting Up the 100738-002

Plan rack or desk space, power and cooling before installation. Check power, cooling and network requirements before deployment. Verify the included configuration against your workload needs. Update firmware to the latest supported release after installation. Allow adequate clearance for airflow around the equipment. Label cables and record port assignments for easier maintenance. Keep a record of serial numbers and part numbers for support and warranty.

Grow with the HP 100738-002

Scale up by adding memory, storage and adapters as demand increases. Virtualization makes it easy to add new services without buying more hardware. High-availability clusters keep services running during maintenance. Network storage complements internal drives for backups and archives.

Energy Efficiency and Running Costs

Track hardware age to plan upgrades. Lower power consumption reduces operating expense. Proper cooling extends component life. Use vendor resources to keep systems optimized.
