HPE Proliant MicroServer Gen10 Plus - Tour & Upgrade

I Many months ago I saw a new MicroServer called Gen10 plus which I find this interesting because this Server better than the original Generation 10.

The Plus Version is wider and smaller than the original.
I am very happy that they bring back the Intel because even AMD Soldiered down CPU did some benefits with the performance, however I prefer upgrading the CPU than soldiered down because you never know if you wanted a more speed and performance, so reinstating Intel CPU upgrade is a better choice Hands-Down!

I am also happy and that they bring back iLO as an option because on the original Gen10 MicroServer, they remove the iLO because the MicroServer are for Small Business which makes sense on why the do not need iLO.
Since HPE change the policy on removing at the time a lot of Server Technicians and Engineers were upset of HP's decision so they bring it back as an option for the Plus version.

The iLO 5 is sold separately which is now introduce as the iLO Enablement Kit (Part #P13788-B21) that way he Engineers can do remote work once again.

The Server has 4 LANs and 2 Graphics port, 1 VGA and DisplayPort.

As for the memory, it is still 32GB of RAM which as more MHz than the previous one.

I mention about the Green, Yellow and Red Tier on the CPU which is based on TDP and people who like to overclock CPU which uses higher power consumption (up to Xeon E-2288G) which is you will see on my next post.
I decide to have Xeon E-2236 because I wanted to have 6 Cores instead of 4 cores.

When I purchase the Server, I decide to buy the Entry level version (Intel i3 and 8GB RAM) because I can save some money and I am going to upgrade it anyway for a better one.

Enjoy my Tour and upgrade video.
