HPE BL460c G10 Blade Server 2x Xeon Gold 5115 32GB RAM 2x 1.8TB HDD

Dual-socket Xeon blade for dense compute

The HPE BL460c Gen10 packs two Xeon Gold 5115 processors at 2.4 GHz with ten cores each and 13.75 MB cache per CPU. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 1.8 TB SAS drives on a Smart Array P204i-b SR controller fill the half-height blade. Integrated iLO Advanced remote management and a FlexFabric 20 Gb dual-port adapter complete the server node for virtualisation or database workloads.

Step up from single-socket or older Gen9 blades

Moving from a single-processor blade or a previous-generation system adds a second Xeon Gold 5115, doubling core count to twenty and raising the memory ceiling to 128 GB. The jump makes sense when licensing costs scale per socket and you need more threads per rack unit without expanding the enclosure. Workloads that fit in 32 GB today can grow into the full DDR4 capacity later.

Verify enclosure, power and cooling budgets first

This half-height blade requires a compatible HPE c-Class enclosure with available bays and sufficient power supply capacity for the dual-processor configuration. Confirm the SAS backplane supports two 2.5-inch drives and that the Smart Array P204i-b SR firmware aligns with your RAID plans. Network uplinks must match the FlexFabric 650FLB adapter for full 20 Gb throughput.
