HPE BL460c G10 Blade Server 2x Xeon Gold 5222 64GB 2x 300GB SAS

Blade server for dense compute clusters

The HPE BL460c G10 is a half-height blade that fits into a c-Class enclosure and delivers two Xeon Gold 5222 processors running at 3.80 GHz with 16.5 MB cache each. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 300 GB 10K SAS drives are installed, while the Smart Array P204i-b SR Gen10 controller handles RAID. Integrated iLO Advanced remote management and a FlexFabric 20 GB 2-port 650FLB adapter provide out-of-band control and high-speed networking.

Verify enclosure and power budget first

Confirm that your c-Class chassis has an available half-height bay and that the onboard power supplies can support the additional load of two CPUs and the installed drives. The blade supports a maximum of two 2.5-inch drives, so no further internal storage can be added without an external array. Ensure the enclosure firmware is current to match the blade’s updated BIOS and iLO versions before installation.

Replaces older BL460c blades with lower core counts

This configuration upgrades from earlier Gen9 or single-socket Gen10 blades when higher per-core frequency and dual-processor throughput are required for virtualisation hosts or database nodes. The jump is worth it when workloads benefit from the 3.80 GHz clock speed and 64 GB of DDR4 memory headroom, while the 300 GB SAS drives suit boot and scratch volumes rather than bulk data.
