Buying a used ML30 Gen11: what to check
Note that memory requires DDR5 ECC UDIMMs (unbuffered); standard server RDIMMs will not work. Verify whether the chassis is a hot-plug drive model or non-hot-plug fixed cable model, check whether a 500W redundant power supply module is installed, and confirm iLO 6 functionality.
