Performance

Up to two Intel Xeon 5600 or 5500 series processors are supported on Intel’s 5500 chipset. Turbo boost and Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology is supported.

Memory

Administrators can choose from either registered (RDIMM) or unbuffered (UDIMM) DDR3 memory modules supporting transfer speeds of 800MHz, 1066MHz, or 1333MHz. Memory speed is dependent on the type and quantity of memory modules installed. There are 18 DIMM slots active in a two processor configuration, Using RDIMM modules the HPE BL490c Gen6 will support a maximum of 192MB with two DIMMs per channel in 12 memory slots and operate at 800MHz.

Storage

The ProLiant BL490c Gen6 will support up to two hot plug SATA SSDs or six hot plug SFF serial-attached SAS or SATA drives. A max of two Fibre Channel HBAs per server blade are standard and provide redundant failsafe support. An integrated SATA Controller is standard for connecting to non-hot-plug SATA SSDs only. For additional RAID functionality, and connecting to external storage, requires the use of an optional Smart Array mezzanine card and optional Smart Array Controller. Integration with StorageWorks storage blades is supported but requires the HP PCI Express Mezzanine Pass Thru Card. There’s also an internal SD card slot for hypervisor support.

Expansion

Two I/O expansion slots are located on the server blade to connect to additional DAS and NAS storage, NICs, and I/O accelerators. Integrated graphics support is included for resolutions of up to 1600 x 1280.

Management

Like other Gen6 HPE ProLiant servers, the ProLiant BL490 Gen6 server features Integrated Lights Out (iLO 2.0) to help provision, deploy, and manage the server. Centralized management is provided the HPE BladeSystem onboard Administrator at the chassis level.
