HP ProLiant BL460c Server Blade
Data sheet
The way businesses select servers is changing. It’s no
longer about enclosures and server devices—it’s about
how everything fits together and how it integrates into
your existing infrastructure. The functionality of today’s
datacenter is constrained by the form of the building
blocks used and the processes required to manage them.
Is your datacenter inflexible, static and hardwired? Is it
tied to manual tasks, maxing out people and processes?
Is it over-provisioned, wasting power, cooling, space,
staff and already limited budget resources? Does it require
management and monitoring 24x7?
HP has the solutions you need to make your datacenter
flexible, automated, effectively provisioned and consistent
while using fewer resources and lowering your TCO.
HP server blades are designed to simplify the “racked,
stacked and wired world.”
With features equal to standard 1U rack-mount servers,
the two-processor, dual-core or quad-core BL460c
combines power-efficient compute power, and high
density with expanded memory and I/O for maximum
performance. The BladeSystem c7000 enclosure supports
up to 16 BL460c server blades, two more servers than the
IBM BladeCenter and each BL460c supports double
the memory capacity of the HS21 server without an
expansion blade. Now with quad-core and dual-core
Intel®Xeon®processors, DDR2 fully buffered DIMMs,
Serial Attached SCSi (SAS) or Serial ATA (SATA) hard
drives, support of multifunction NICs and multiple I/O
cards, the BL460c provides a performance system
ideal for the full range of scale-out applications. In this
small form factor, the BL460c includes more features to
enable high-availability, such as hot plug hard drives,
mirrored-memory, online spare memory, memory
interleaving, embedded RAID capability and enhanced
remote Lights-Out management.

Key features and benefits
• Excellent performance for demanding scale-out
applications
• Versatility and availability for a wide range of
deployments
• Quality engineering for reliability and ease of
ownership
• Impressive expansion and management solutions for
easy maintenance
Features and benefits
The BL460c, a 2P server blade, provides enterprise-
class features for high performance and reliability
without compromising energy efficiency or density. The
BL460c server blade combines powerful dual-core and
quad-core Intel Xeon series processor performance
with greater memory capacity, hot plug SAS or SATA
drives, simultaneous support of multiple I/O cards and
enhanced remote management capabilities for the
most complete dense server blade.
Proven performance and versatility
• Up to two Intel Xeon 5300, 5100 or 5000 series
processors with Intel VT technology to improve
performance in a virtual environment
• Supports up to 32 GB of ECC 667MHz DDR2 fully
buffered DIMMs with mirrored-memory, memory
interleaving and online spare capability
• 2 mezzanine expansion slots
• HP Smart Array E200i with 64 MB read cache with
optional battery-backed write cache
Density
• Fine-tuned for maximum density deployments of
64-bit systems without sacrificing functionality with
an internal USB connector for enhanced security
• Supports up to 8 DIMM memory expansion slots
• Two hot plug small form factor (SFF) SAS drives with
battery-backed write cache support
• Simultaneously supports multiple I/O cards with two
expansion slots
Options, reliability and efficiency
• Storage support of up to two high-performance SFF
hot plug SAS or SATA disk drives
• Low-voltage processor option kits targeted at most
optimal performance per U and power per watt
resulting in cooler, power-enhanced systems
• Optional battery-backed write cache (BBWC) option
to protect against data loss
Enterprise features with no compromises
• Fine-tuned for greater density deployments of 64-bit
systems without sacrificing functionality with an
internal USB connector for enhanced security
• Supports up to eight fully buffered DIMM memory
expansion slots
• Two hot plug SFF SAS or SATA drives with BBWC
support
• Simultaneously supports multiple PCI Express I/O
cards with two expansion slots
Management software and configuration tools
• Integrated Lights Out 2 (iLO 2) Management for
unprecedented, high-speed management that includes
virtual KVM and graphical remote console at no
additional cost
• HP Systems Insight Manager Thermal Logic Cooling
—instant thermal dashboard for system diagnostics
and control of power and cooling
• Multifunction gigabit NICs with TOE and RDMA/iSCSI
options to reduce network latency
• Smart power and thermal management now available
with HP Power Regulator for policy-based power
management; also new industry-exclusive Power
Meter reporting capability to log actual power usage
