HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen9 v4 CTO Server Blade (Refurbished)

HP ProLiant BL460c Gen9 v4 CTO refurbished server blade for installation in an HPE BladeSystem enclosure. It is a good choice when you want to concentrate servers in a rack, with standardized blade management and expandability within the same enclosure.

Indicative uses: virtualization (VMware/Proxmox/Hyper-V), private cloud, service consolidation (AD/DNS, ERP, file services), lab environments and workloads that require stable performance in 24/7 operation.

Compatibility & conditions: the BL460c Gen9 is a blade and does not operate autonomously without a compatible BladeSystem enclosure (e.g. c7000/c3000) and the appropriate interconnect modules/networking. The exact requirements/observations (cooling, firmware, options) are documented in the officially HPE QuickSpecs (PDF: download).

Practical benefits: high computing power density in an enclosure, easier scaling (adding blades), and infrastructure homogenization in a datacenter or corporate server room.

Do you need enclosure to work?;

Yes. The BL460c Gen9 is a server blade and requires a compatible HPE BladeSystem enclosure (c7000/c3000) with the appropriate interconnect modules/networking. See official QuickSpecs for requirements and cooling notes.

What drives does it support (2.5" SFF)?;

According to HPE QuickSpecs, the platform supports up to 2x SFF hot-plug disks (SAS/SATA/SSD), depending on the configuration. Disk availability/capacity depends on the specific CTO configuration of the product.

What is the weight of the blade?;

In HPE QuickSpecs, the weight is listed as approximately 4.75 kg (minimum) until 6.33 kg (maximum) (full configuration). In WooCommerce we store 6.33 kg as the verified maximum weight.

Is it suitable for virtualization?;

Yes, it's typical use for server blades (virtualization, consolidation, private cloud). Final compatibility depends on hypervisor/firmware and specific configuration.
