HP ProLiant BL680c G7 Blade Server

The HP ProLiant BL680c G7 is a blade server system designed for data centres that need high-density compute in a compact form factor. It ships with 16GB of DDR3 memory and supports up to two Intel Xeon processors for demanding workloads.

Sustained load behaviour with 1TB memory ceiling

Under sustained load the server can scale to 1.0 TB of memory across 64 DIMM slots using DDR3 SDRAM technology. The architecture supports up to four 130W processors and six embedded 10Gb FlexFabric adapters for continuous high-bandwidth throughput.

Upgrade path from smaller blade systems

This blade replaces earlier two-socket blades when consolidation projects require 64 DIMM slots and seven mezzanine expansion slots. The jump is worth it for organisations moving multi-processor rack workloads to a blade chassis with ultra-high I/O bandwidth.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the BL680c G7 run when all four Xeon 130W processors are fully loaded?

The blade supports up to four Intel Xeon processors each rated at 130W, and cooling is handled by the shared enclosure fans.

What enclosure and interconnect modules must I already have for this blade to operate?

The server requires a compatible HP c-Class enclosure with appropriate power, cooling and FlexFabric interconnect modules for the six 10Gb ports.

Can I keep using my existing DDR3 DIMMs when I populate the remaining memory slots?

The system has 64 DIMM slots supporting DDR3 SDRAM up to a total of 1.0 TB; match speed and rank requirements for proper operation.
