Blade server for dual-processor workloads
The HPE BL460c G10 blade server ships with two Xeon Gold 6252 processors running at 2.1 GHz and 24 cores each. It includes 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 1.8 TB SAS hard drives managed by a Smart Array P204i-b SR controller. This configuration targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes or compute clusters that fit a half-height blade chassis.
Verify chassis power and networking before ordering
Confirm that your enclosure provides sufficient power and cooling for a dual-processor blade and that the backplane supports SAS drives. The unit includes a FlexFabric 20 Gb 2-port 650FLB adapter, so check switch compatibility and cabling for the chosen fabric. Ensure the iLO Advanced licence matches your management platform requirements.
Thermals noise and power draw in normal use
Dual 24-core CPUs and spinning SAS drives generate significant heat; the blade relies on shared chassis fans for cooling. Acoustic output depends on enclosure fan curves rather than the blade itself. Power consumption scales with CPU load and drive activity, so plan chassis power budgets around sustained multi-threaded workloads.

Questions about this item
What comes with the BL460c G10 blade and what must be purchased separately?
The blade includes two Xeon Gold 6252 CPUs, 32GB DDR4 memory, two 1.8TB SAS hard drives and a Smart Array P204i-b SR controller. An enclosure, power supplies and rail kit are not included.
Should I choose the 32GB configuration or expand toward the 128GB maximum?
Start with 32GB if the workload fits; add DDR4 modules later up to 128GB when demand grows.
What does the 2.1GHz clock speed mean for real-world throughput on this blade?
Each of the 24 cores per processor runs at 2.1GHz with 35.75MB cache, delivering high multi-thread performance for database and virtualization tasks.
