HPE BV897A 2-Port 1Gb Ethernet Expansion Module

The HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen8, part number BV897A, is a dual-socket, half-height server blade engineered for enterprise data centers requiring high-density compute power and flexibility. It is designed to operate within HPE BladeSystem c3000 and c7000 enclosures, solving the need for scalable performance in a consolidated form factor. This server excels in demanding virtualized and clustered environments. At its core, the BL460c Gen8 supports the Intel Xeon E5-2600 or E5-2600 v2 processor families, providing substantial processing power with up to 12 cores per CPU. This is complemented by 16 DDR3 DIMM slots supporting up to 512GB of HPE SmartMemory, which enhances workload performance through features like Advanced ECC. This combination ensures efficient handling of memory-intensive applications and virtual machine deployments. Designed for simplified management and future-readiness, this server blade integrates the HPE iLO 4 management processor for comprehensive remote lifecycle administration. Its half-height form factor allows for high-density configurations within a shared power and cooling infrastructure. The inclusion of HPE FlexibleLOM technology provides customizable networking, allowing administrators to adapt I/O capacity to meet evolving infrastructure demands without replacing the server hardware.
