HP ProLiant BL460c G6 Blade Server

The HP ProLiant BL460c G6 is a half-height blade server designed for data centre density. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5530 quad-core processor running at 2.40 GHz and 6 GB of DDR memory. The chassis supports up to two processors and two hot-plug SAS drives with RAID 0 or 1 capability. A dual-port 10 GbE adapter is included for high-speed networking.

Suits dense virtualisation; not for GPU compute

This blade suits IT managers consolidating virtual machines or running memory-intensive business applications within a standard enclosure. The integrated ATI RN50 graphics with 32 MB video memory only provides basic console output. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for compute workloads or 3D rendering should look at a different platform.

Memory capacity up to 96 GB

The system accepts DDR memory up to a maximum of 96 GB across its DIMM slots. The installed 6 GB baseline covers light workloads, but larger datasets require additional modules. Verify the enclosure's memory configuration limits before purchasing extra DIMMs.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the dual-port 10 Gb Ethernet is active after installing the blade?

Check the server's management console for two 10 Gb links showing connected status and verify both ports pass traffic.

What ships with the BL460c G6 and what must I add?

The blade includes one E5530 2.40 GHz quad-core processor, 6 GB DDR memory, ATI RN50 graphics with 32 MB video memory, and SAS RAID 1 support; a second processor, additional memory up to 96 GB, and SAS drives are purchased separately.

Which memory capacity should I select for this server?

Start with the installed 6 GB for basic tasks, add modules to reach 96 GB maximum for heavy virtualization or database workloads.
