Blade server for dense compute clusters

The HPE BL460c G9 fits into a c-Class enclosure and delivers two Xeon E5-2660v4 processors with 14 cores each at 2.0 GHz. It targets workloads that need high thread counts in a half-height form factor. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two internal drives should look elsewhere.

Build integration and expansion limits

The half-height blade occupies one slot and uses the P244br controller with 1 GB FBWC for the two 2.5-inch SAS drives. Memory reaches 256 GB DDR4 across the installed DIMMs, leaving no free capacity for upgrades. A 10 Gb two-port 562T adapter handles network connectivity.

Bundled controller and remote management

The Smart Array P244br provides hardware RAID with flash-backed write cache for the 900 GB 10K drives. Integrated iLO Advanced gives full out-of-band control, firmware updates and console access without a local keyboard or monitor.

Questions about this item

Will the 256 GB DDR4 limit memory expansion for virtualisation workloads?

The board is already at its maximum 256 GB capacity so no additional modules can be added.

How loud and hot does the dual Xeon 2660 v4 configuration run under continuous load?

The blade relies on the enclosure’s shared cooling fans; noise and heat levels depend on that chassis configuration.

What infrastructure must already be in place for this blade to operate?

It installs in an HPE c-Class enclosure that supplies power, cooling, and the 10 Gb 562T network connections.
