Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the HPE 875946-B21 Xeon-G 6138 processor kit? +
The 875946-B21 is a high-performance Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processor kit specifically engineered for HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen10 blade servers. It provides the necessary computational density and multi-core processing power required to handle demanding virtualization workloads, database management, and enterprise-level applications within a blade chassis architecture.
Can the HPE 875946-B21 be installed in non-Gen10 blade servers? +
This processor kit is specifically validated and optimized for the HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen10 server series. It is not compatible with previous generation servers such as the Gen8 or Gen9 models, as those systems utilize different processor architectures, memory controllers, and socket requirements incompatible with the Xeon Scalable Gold 6138 series.
How does the Xeon-G 6138 processor impact server performance in a virtualized environment? +
With 20 cores and a base frequency of 2.0 GHz, the Xeon-G 6138 significantly increases the virtual machine density per blade. This allows IT administrators to run more concurrent instances on a single BL460c unit while maintaining high performance per watt, effectively reducing the physical footprint required for large-scale data center virtualization.
Does the 875946-B21 kit include the necessary thermal management components? +
The 875946-B21 is an official HPE option kit that includes the processor and the required thermal solutions for integration into the BL460c Gen10 chassis. It ensures that the processor operates within specified thermal envelopes, preventing throttling during peak compute cycles and maintaining the stability of your blade server infrastructure.
Are there specific power requirements for running the Xeon-G 6138 in an HPE BL460c Gen10? +
Yes, deploying high-core-count processors like the 6138 requires verifying your enclosure's power capacity and cooling capabilities. Before installation, use the HPE Power Advisor tool to ensure your chassis power supplies and fans are configured correctly to handle the increased thermal design power (TDP) draw of this upgrade.
Is any additional firmware configuration required after installing the 875946-B21? +
After physically installing the processor, ensure your HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen10 BIOS and iLO firmware are updated to the latest available versions. Current firmware is critical for full feature recognition, optimal microcode performance, and proper power management integration within the HPE management ecosystem.
What is the core and thread count for the Xeon Gold 6138 processor? +
The Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processor features 20 physical cores and 40 threads. This high thread count is ideal for multi-threaded enterprise applications that benefit from parallel processing, making it an excellent choice for scaling resource-heavy software platforms within a space-constrained blade server environment.
Can I mix this processor with different models in a dual-socket BL460c configuration? +
HPE architecture guidelines require that processors in a dual-socket configuration are identical in terms of part number and specifications. Attempting to mix different CPU models within the same BL460c blade will result in boot failures or system instability. Always ensure you are using two identical 875946-B21 kits for your server upgrades.
