HPE P71683-005

Overview

The HPE P71683-005 is a tower server designed to support small and growing businesses with reliable and straightforward performance. It features an 8-core Intel Xeon Bronze 3508U processor running at 2.1 GHz and comes equipped with 32GB of DDR5 memory, providing the power needed to handle everyday business applications, data storage, and team workflows efficiently. With two 2TB SATA hard drives and a robust storage controller, this server offers ample space and fast data access for critical business operations.

Its design includes four large form factor drive bays, with two available for future storage expansion, and three PCIe Gen5 slots for adding components or upgrades. Dual 500W hot-plug power supplies ensure continuous operation with redundancy, while embedded dual-port Gigabit Ethernet simplifies network integration. The server’s tower form factor fits well in office environments and can be converted to rack-mount if required. Remote management is streamlined through HPE’s Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) technology, reducing maintenance efforts and downtime.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
