Dual-processor blade server
The HPE BL460c Gen10 blade server fits into a c-Class enclosure and provides two Xeon Gold 5220S processors running at 2.7 GHz with eighteen cores each. It is aimed at data-centre operators who need dense compute for virtualisation or database workloads in a half-height form factor. The system arrives with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 1.8 TB SAS hard drives already installed.
Storage interface and bay limit
The onboard Smart Array P204i-b SR controller manages the SAS drives and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10. Only two 2.5-inch drive bays exist in the blade, so total internal capacity cannot exceed the two installed drives. External storage must be added through the enclosure interconnects or the FlexFabric 20 Gb two-port 650FLB adapter for additional capacity.
Maximum memory reached
The server reaches its factory maximum of 128 GB DDR4 across the available DIMM slots, leaving no room for further memory expansion. Buyers who need more RAM must select a different platform. The dual-socket design also means the blade cannot accept a third processor, fixing the core count at thirty-six.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 128GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?
The system ships with 128GB DDR4 ECC Registered installed, which is also the maximum capacity the board supports, so no further expansion is possible.
What does the 2.7 GHz Xeon Gold 5220S speed deliver in a live workload?
Two 18-core Xeon Gold 5220S processors running at 2.7 GHz provide 36 cores total with 24.75MB cache each, giving strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization and database tasks.
How does the SAS interface and Smart Array P204i-b SR controller limit drive performance?
The 2.5-inch 1.8TB SAS drives connect through the Smart Array P204i-b SR controller, capping throughput at the SAS link speed and the controller's RAID overhead.
