Server purpose

The HPE BL460c G9 is a dual-socket blade server built for dense virtualization and database workloads. It ships with two Xeon E5-2698 v4 processors at 2.2 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis fits a standard blade enclosure and includes integrated 10 Gb Ethernet and iLO Advanced remote management.

Fit and limits

This configuration suits teams that need maximum core count and memory in a single half-height blade. Buyers who require more than two internal 2.5-inch drives or a discrete GPU should evaluate other form factors. The installed storage controller and memory are already at the blade's supported maximums.

Deciding specification

The blade supports only two 2.5-inch SAS drives, giving 600 GB of raw capacity with the installed 300 GB 10K disks. If the application needs more local spindles or a different drive interface, this server will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

What enclosure or chassis is required to run the BL460c G9 blade?

The BL460c G9 must be installed in a supported HPE BladeSystem enclosure that provides power, cooling and interconnect modules.

Will the installed 562T 10 Gb adapter link down to 1 Gb switches I already use?

The 562T 2-port adapter negotiates speed with the connected switch, so it can operate on your existing 1 Gb infrastructure.

How can I confirm the 256 GB DDR4 memory is recognised and healthy after installation?

Check the iLO Advanced interface or the system BIOS during POST; both will report the full 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and show no errors.
