Blade server for dense compute

The HPE BL460c Gen10 is a dual-socket blade server designed for c-Class enclosures. Two Xeon Gold 6142 processors run at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores each, supported by 64 GB of DDR4 memory and 1.8 TB of SAS storage across two 900 GB drives. Integrated Lights-Out Advanced and a Smart Array P204i-b SR controller handle remote management and RAID.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing maximum cores

This configuration targets workloads that benefit from high core counts within a single half-height bay, such as virtualisation clusters or database nodes. Buyers who need more than 128 GB of memory, more than two drive bays, or a full-height form factor should look at alternative platforms. The fixed two-processor limit also rules out future CPU expansion.

128 GB DDR4 maximum memory capacity

The board supports up to 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across its DIMM slots, double the 64 GB installed today. This ceiling determines whether the blade can grow with your dataset or whether a higher-capacity model is required. No other memory type or speed is supported by this generation.

Questions about this item

What enclosure slot width and drive bay size does the BL460c Gen10 blade require?

The half-height blade occupies a single slot in an HPE c-Class enclosure and uses two 2.5-inch SAS drive bays.

Which component must be seated before the blade is inserted into the enclosure?

The Smart Array P204i-b SR controller is integrated on the system board, so no separate card installation is needed; just ensure the blade locks firmly into the mid-plane connectors.

When should the 900 GB 10K SAS drives be considered for replacement?

Plan replacement after five years of continuous operation or when SMART alerts report reallocated sectors, whichever occurs first.
