HPE BL460c G10 Blade Server 2x Xeon Gold 6240 128GB 2x 1.8TB SAS

Blade server for dense compute

The HPE BL460c G10 is a half-height blade that fits into a c-Class enclosure and delivers two Xeon Gold 6240 processors running at 2.60 GHz with 18 cores each. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a Smart Array P204i-b SR controller driving two 1.8 TB SAS hard drives. Integrated Lights-Out Advanced and a FlexFabric 20 Gb 2-port adapter provide remote management and networking.

Verify enclosure and firmware baseline

Confirm the c-Class enclosure has the required power, cooling and interconnect modules to support dual-processor blades. Check that the iLO firmware and system BIOS are at the versions your operations team mandates, because the unit arrives with the latest stable releases already applied. Ensure the SAS backplane and Smart Array controller firmware match your existing blade fleet for consistent RAID behaviour.

Sustained load with dual 18-core CPUs

Under continuous workloads the two 18-core Xeon Gold 6240 processors share a 24.75 MB last-level cache each and maintain their 2.60 GHz base frequency within the blade’s thermal envelope. The DDR4 memory subsystem runs at the platform’s maximum supported speed without overclocking, and the dual 1.8 TB SAS drives deliver steady throughput for write-intensive tasks. iLO Advanced telemetry lets operators monitor temperature, power draw and memory health in real time during long runs.
