Processors | (2) Intel E5-2600 v3 or v4
The HPE ProLiant BL460c (G9) supports up to two processors, but all processors within the server must be identical, as mixing different processor models is not supported. The server also includes two I/O mezzanine expansion slots to enhance connectivity. However, access to these slots depends on the processor configuration—Expansion Slot 1 requires a processor installed in Processor Slot 1, while Expansion Slot 2 requires a processor in Processor Slot 2. This design ensures scalability and flexibility for high-performance workloads while maintaining compatibility requirements.
Memory | 16 DIMM
The HPE ProLiant BL460c (G9) server exclusively supports DDR4 memory, rendering DDR3 memory from previous-generation servers incompatible. It offers support for both LRDIMM and RDIMM technologies; however, these two memory types cannot be mixed within the same server. Furthermore, 128GB DIMMs cannot be combined with other DIMM capacities, ensuring a consistent memory configuration. With a two-socket configuration, the server provides access to 16 DIMM slots, delivering robust scalability and performance for demanding workloads.
- Maximum (LRDIMM) 2TB (16 x 128GB) up to 2400MT/s
- Maximum (RDIMM) 512GB (16 x 32GB) up to 2133MT/s
Storage Controllers
The server comes standard with the HPE Smart Array B140i Controller (chipset SATA), which supports two internal SATA drives. If RAID is required, the HPE FIO B140i RAID Enable Kit (784308-B21) must be selected. For configurations involving a PCI expansion blade or a D2220sb storage blade, the HPE Smart Array P246br Controller is necessary to enable proper functionality.
NVMe DrivesThe HPE ProLiant BL460c (G9) server requires the HPE (G9) Broadwell NVMe FIO Setting (825555-B21) to support SFF NVMe SSDs. However, this option is incompatible with the HPE Smart Array P244br, P246br, and H244br controllers. For systems using this setting, HPE recommends a dual M.2 solid-state drive (797905-001 or 846757-001) kit for boot purposes.
Networking | FlexibleLOM
HPE FlexibleLOM provides the ability to customize server networking today and the ability to meet future needs without overhauling server hardware. Provides choice of bandwidth and fabric (Ethernet, FCoE, InfiniBand), supports WOL, and provides a shared iLO port for ease of use.
The server requires one (1) FlexibleLOM that is installed in the FlexibleLOM connectors. All FlexibleLOMs are dual port: One port is routed to interconnect module bay 1 and the other to bay 2.
FlexibleLOM: Provides basic, customizable external network connectivity, allowing the blade to communicate with the outside network through the enclosure’s interconnect bays. Each port is autosensing the speed, and can interoperate with 1Gb HPE BladeSystem c-Class interconnect components. Both ports will operate at the same speed.
Expansion | Mezzanine Slot 1, 2
The HPE server features two I/O expansion mezzanine slots: Expansion Slot 1 is a x16 PCIe 3.0 Type A slot that supports dual-port mezzanine cards, with one port routed to interconnect module bay 3 and the other to bay 4. Expansion Slot 2 is a x16 PCIe 3.0 Type B slot, compatible with both Type A and Type B mezzanine cards. This slot supports dual-port and quad-port mezzanine cards—dual-port cards route one port each to bays 5 and 6, while quad-port cards route to bays 5, 6, 7, and 8. Note that Expansion Slot 2 requires a second processor to be installed for activation.
Mezzanine card options include:
- Dual-port 20Gb FlexFabric, Dual-port 10Gb FlexFabric, 10GbE options, and quad-port 1Gb Ethernet server adapter mezzanine options for additional network ports
- Dual-port 16Gb Fibre Channel HBA for SAN connectivity
- QDR and FDR InfiniBand for low latency and high bandwidth server interconnectivity
- I/O accelerator mezzanine options for high transaction rate local storage
Type A vs B
- Type A: x16 PCIe 3.0 slot, moderate bandwidth, and limited to Type A slots.
- Type B: x16 PCIe 3.0 Slot, high bandwidth, compatible with both Type A & B
Expansion Slot 1
- x16 PCIe 3.0
- Type A Controllers
- Supports Dual-port Mezz Cards
- Ports routed to interconnect module bays 3 and 4.
- When an InfiniBand adapter is installed in mezzanine slot 1, only one port is active (regardless of operating mode). When installed in mezzanine slot 2, both ports are active.
Expansion Slot 2
- Requires a second processor
- x16 PCIe 3.0
- Type A or B Controllers
- Supports Dual-port and Quad-port Mezz Cards
- Dual-Ports routed to interconnect module bays 5 & 6.
- Quad-Ports routed to interconnect module bays 5, 6, 7, & 8.
