Question
A customer has a c7000 enclosure running a mix of G7, Gen8, and Gen9 servers. They are decommissioning their G7 servers and plan to replace them with Gen10 servers. Which Gen10 server is the most appropriate replacement?
Options
- ASY480 Gen10
- BBL460 Gen 10
- CDL380 Gen10
- DDL360 Gen10
Explanation
B. BL460 Gen10 is the correct answer.
The HPE c7000 is a BladeSystem enclosure - it only accepts blade server form factors. The G7 servers being replaced (BL460c G7 blades) must be swapped with servers that physically fit the same chassis. The BL460 Gen10 maintains the blade form factor and is designed for BladeSystem enclosures, making it the direct generational upgrade within the existing c7000 infrastructure.
Why the others are wrong:
- A. SY480 Gen10 - The "SY" prefix denotes a Synergy server, which requires an HPE Synergy frame, not a c7000 enclosure. Completely different chassis ecosystem.
- C. DL380 Gen10 - "DL" = rack-mounted server. It cannot be installed in a blade enclosure at all.
- D. DL360 Gen10 - Also a rack server (DL prefix). Same issue as the DL380 - wrong form factor entirely.
Memory tip: Use the prefix as your guide - BL = BladeSystem (fits c7000/c3000), SY = Synergy (fits Synergy frames), DL = Dense-Layout rack server. The enclosure type locks in your answer before you even consider the generation. If the enclosure is a c7000, you need a BL.
