HPE BL460c G10 Blade Server 2x Xeon Gold 5120 48GB DDR4 2x 900GB SAS

Dual-socket blade server for dense compute

The HPE BL460c Gen10 blade fits into a c-Class enclosure and delivers two Xeon Gold 5120 processors running at 2.2 GHz with 14 cores each. Forty-eight gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed, expandable to 128 GB across the available slots. Two 900 GB SAS 10K drives connect through the Smart Array P204i-b SR controller, providing local storage for operating systems and active workloads. The half-height form factor suits environments that need maximum cores per rack unit.

Shared enclosure cooling keeps thermals managed

Because the blade has no fans of its own, it relies on the enclosure’s redundant fan wall to move air across the heatsinks. Under typical loads the dual 14-core CPUs draw power within the enclosure’s designed thermal envelope, and the integrated 20 Gb FlexFabric adapter adds minimal heat. Noise levels are therefore dictated by the chassis fans rather than the blade itself, allowing quiet operation in shared data-centre aisles. Power consumption scales with workload but stays within the limits of a standard c-Class power subsystem.

iLO Advanced and FlexFabric simplify deployment

Integrated Lights-Out Advanced provides remote console, virtual media and health monitoring over a dedicated management network, so administrators can provision firmware and BIOS before the OS loads. The 650FLB FlexFabric adapter delivers two 20 Gb ports for converged Ethernet and storage traffic, reducing the need for separate mezzanine cards. A rail kit is available on request for rack mounting the enclosure, while the blade itself ships without rails or cables. Firmware is updated to the latest stable release before dispatch.
