Small-business NAS server
The HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus is a mini-tower chassis built around an Intel Xeon E-2224 quad-core processor running at 3.4GHz with turbo up to 4.6GHz. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 PC4-21300 2666MHz unbuffered memory in a 2 x 16GB configuration. The platform targets small businesses that need a dedicated file server running FreeNAS.
Thermal and power profile
Four 3.5-inch 7.2K RPM SATA drives operate in a RAID array inside the compact chassis. The Xeon E-2224 has an 8MB cache and draws moderate power under typical file-serving loads. The mini-tower form factor relies on internal airflow to keep drive and CPU temperatures stable during continuous operation.
Assembly-required components
The 8TB storage pool (4 x 2TB) and the 32GB memory kit are supplied separately and must be installed before deployment. This means the buyer performs the drive mounting and DIMM seating rather than receiving a pre-configured appliance. FreeNAS is included as the operating system, providing ZFS-based storage management once the hardware is assembled.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 2 x 16 GB DDR4 2666 MHz modules and the four 3.5" SATA drives that ship outside the chassis?
Power off the server, open the mini-tower side panel, seat both unbuffered DDR4 sticks fully into the memory slots until the latches click, then mount each 2 TB 7.2K drive into a drive bay and connect its SATA data and power cables before closing the case.
What ongoing maintenance do the four 2 TB 7.2K SATA drives in RAID and the unbuffered DDR4 memory require?
Monitor the RAID array health through the FreeNAS dashboard and replace any 3.5" drive that reports SMART errors; dust the interior and verify fan operation periodically; the DDR4 modules have no service interval but should be reseated only if memory errors appear.
Which component hits its limit first when the Xeon E-2224 runs at 4.6 GHz turbo under sustained load?
The quad-core Xeon E-2224 will reach its thermal ceiling before the 32 GB DDR4 2666 MHz memory or the 6 Gb/s SATA RAID array saturate, so sustained 4.6 GHz operation depends on adequate chassis airflow.
