HP WS460c Gen8 Graphics Server Blade Overview, Configuration and
Support Guidelines
Understanding WS460c Gen8 Graphics Server Blade Core configurations and options
There are two ProLiant C Class generations of the WS460c, Generation 6 and 8 (G6, Gen8). There are two options for the
base blade configuration (see figure 9a/b), the single wide base blade or double wide blade with graphics expansion. The
base blade supports up to two MXM style graphics cards installed on the blade mezzanine slots, while the expansion blade
allows for full size high end graphics cards to be installed. Newly introduced, the WS460c Gen8 HP Multi-GPU Carrier Card
allows for up to 8 GPUs (MXM Style) to be installed in the blade, creating the highest GPU density on a blade in the
industry.
