BL465c G7 Platform at a Glance

- Expansion: two I/O expansion mezzanine slots, both x8 PCI Express, and support for one storage, tape or PCI expansion blade
- Power and cooling: supplied by the enclosure, not the blade — HPE specifies ten fans in a c7000 or six in a c3000 for optimal cooling of this server blade
Nothing on this page powers or cools the blade. A BL465c G7 draws both from the enclosure around it — HPE specifies ten fans in a c7000 and six in a c3000 for this server blade — so there are no power supplies, fans or rail kits to buy for it. What the blade does own is two SFF drive bays, sixteen DIMM slots and two x8 PCI Express mezzanine slots, and every upgrade works inside those three limits.
Specifications on this page are taken from the HPE QuickSpecs for this server blade, HPE ProLiant BL465c Generation 7 (G7) Server Blade QuickSpecs, Version 25.

How much memory can a BL465c G7 take?
512GB using Registered DIMMs, or 64GB using Unbuffered. The blade has sixteen DDR3 slots, eight per processor across four channels, and the 512GB figure needs 32GB quad-rank modules in every slot.
How many drives fit in a BL465c G7?
Two, in hot-plug small form factor bays. No drives ship standard, and SAS, SATA and solid state drives cannot be mixed within one blade.
How does a BL465c G7 connect to the network?
Through an embedded NC551i dual-port FlexFabric 10Gb Converged Network Adapter, whose ports autosense 1Gb or 10Gb against the enclosure interconnect. Two x8 PCI Express mezzanine slots take further Ethernet, Fibre Channel or InfiniBand cards.
