Dual-socket Xeon blade with 64 GB DDR4
The HPE BL460c Gen10 is a half-height blade server equipped with two Xeon Gold 6240 processors running at 2.60 GHz. Each CPU provides 18 cores and 24.75 MB cache. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 SDRAM and two 1.8 TB SAS hard drives managed by a Smart Array P204i-b SR controller. Remote management is handled through integrated iLO Advanced.
Suited for dense compute clusters needing maximum
This configuration targets workloads that benefit from 36 total cores and fast local SAS storage, such as virtualization hosts or database nodes. Buyers who need more than 128 GB of memory, additional drive bays beyond the two 2.5-inch slots, or discrete GPU acceleration should evaluate other platforms. The fixed two-processor limit also rules out future CPU expansion.
64 GB DDR4 installed with 128 GB ceiling
The single specification that decides fit is the memory ceiling: 64 GB are installed today and the board tops out at 128 GB. If the application requires more capacity than that, this blade cannot meet the requirement.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 64 GB DDR4 configuration or expand to the 128 GB maximum?
The server ships with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed. The platform supports up to 128 GB total, so you can add more modules later if workloads grow beyond the current capacity.
What does the 2.60 GHz clock speed mean for the dual Xeon Gold 6240 processors in daily use?
Each Xeon Gold 6240 runs at 2.60 GHz with 18 cores, giving 36 cores total across the two sockets. That base frequency delivers consistent throughput for virtualization, databases and multi-threaded applications without relying on turbo boost.
How does the SAS interface and Smart Array P204i-b SR controller limit the two 1.8 TB drives?
The drives connect via SAS to the Smart Array P204i-b SR controller, which supports RAID 0 and RAID 1. The SAS link and controller firmware determine the maximum sustained throughput, so the pair will operate at the speed the controller negotiates with the drives.
