HPE BL460c Gen10 dual-socket blade

The HPE BL460c Gen10 is a half-height blade server fitted with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8256 processors running at 3.8 GHz. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a Smart Array P204i-b SR storage controller managing two 1.8 TB SAS hard drives in 2.5-inch bays. Remote management is handled by integrated iLO Advanced.

Suited for compute-dense workloads needing high

This configuration targets workloads that benefit from the 3.8 GHz base frequency and 16.5 MB cache per processor, such as single-threaded applications or licensing models tied to core count. Buyers who need more than 128 GB of memory, more than two internal drives, or GPU acceleration should evaluate other platforms.

Dual Xeon Platinum 8256 at 3.8 GHz

The two 4-core Platinum 8256 CPUs provide the highest base clock in this blade family, directly determining single-thread throughput and licensing costs. Memory can be expanded to 128 GB using DDR4 modules, and the SAS controller supports RAID 0, 1 and 10 across the installed 2.5-inch drives.

Questions about this item

How do I install the BL460c Gen10 blade into a c-Class enclosure and which step is often missed?

Slide the blade into an empty bay until the lever locks, then use iLO to update firmware before powering on; the step most people skip is the firmware update.

What maintenance or replacement will the two 1.8 TB SAS drives and the P204i-b controller need later?

The 1.8 TB SAS drives are mechanical and will eventually wear out; plan to replace them with identical SAS drives and rebuild the RAID on the P204i-b controller.

What limit appears first when both Xeon Platinum 8256 CPUs run at 3.8 GHz under sustained load?

The blade’s thermal envelope in the enclosure is reached before the 128 GB memory ceiling or the dual 20 Gb network ports saturate.
