HPE BL460c G10 Blade Server 2x Xeon Silver 4208 32GB DDR4 2x 240GB SATA

HPE BL460c Gen10 blade server

The HPE BL460c Gen10 is a dual-socket blade server built for virtualisation and database workloads. It ships with two Xeon Silver 4208 processors running at 2.1 GHz, 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a pair of 240 GB SATA 2.5" SSDs. The Smart Array P204i-b SR controller handles RAID duties while an integrated iLO Advanced module provides remote management.

Installation fits standard c-Class enclosures

Slide the blade into an available bay and secure the latch; power and network connections route through the enclosure midplane. The two drive bays accept only 2.5" SATA devices, so 3.5" drives cannot be used. Firmware and BIOS arrive pre-updated to the latest stable release, reducing first-boot surprises. Memory population follows HPE guidelines — mixing registered and unbuffered DIMMs will prevent POST.

Verify enclosure compatibility

Confirm the c-Class enclosure has a vacant full-height slot and sufficient cooling capacity for the 20 lb blade. The server supports up to 128 GB of DDR4 across its DIMM slots, so plan additional memory purchases accordingly. The FlexFabric 20 Gb 2-port 650FLB adapter requires matching interconnect modules in the enclosure for full bandwidth. Storage expansion is limited to the two internal bays unless external arrays are attached.
