Blade server for dense compute clusters
The HPE BL460c G10 fits a standard blade enclosure and delivers two Xeon Platinum 8256 processors running at 3.8 GHz with four cores each and 16.5 MB cache. It targets organisations that need high single-thread performance in a shared chassis for virtualisation, database or HPC workloads. Buyers who require more than two CPU sockets or GPU acceleration should look at rack-mount alternatives.
Half-height blade with dual 2.5-inch drive bays
The half-height form factor leaves room for a second blade in the same enclosure slot while the front-accessible bays hold the two installed 1.8 TB SAS hard drives. A Smart Array P204i-b SR Gen10 controller manages RAID 0 or 1 for those drives and the FlexFabric 20 GB 2-port 650FLB adapter provides high-speed fabric connectivity. Memory expands to 128 GB across the DDR4 slots.
iLO Advanced remote management included
Integrated Lights-Out Advanced gives full out-of-band control over power, console and firmware without an operating system. Every unit ships with BIOS and firmware updated to the latest stable release after a full diagnostic burn-in. A rail kit is available on request for rack installation. Systems needing pre-loaded hypervisors or additional storage controllers must be specified at order time.

Questions about this item
What SAS interface speed does the Smart Array P204i-b SR Gen10 controller use with the 1.8TB drives?
The P204i-b SR Gen10 controller connects the two 1.8TB SAS drives at 12 Gbit/s per lane, so each drive runs at the full SAS-3 link rate.
What physical space and enclosure does the BL460c G10 blade require?
The half-height blade measures 22 x 22 x 10 inches and weighs 20 pounds; it must be installed in a supported HPE c-Class enclosure with an available half-height bay.
How is the server installed and what step is commonly missed?
Slide the blade into the enclosure bay until the latch clicks, then use iLO to update firmware and configure the Smart Array P204i-b SR controller before installing the operating system.
