HPE Synergy 480 Gen11 Configure-to-order Compute Module, P39531-B21

P39531-B21 is the configure-to-order (CTO) base for the HPE Synergy 480 Gen11, a two-socket, half-height compute module for the Synergy 12000 frame. The TAA-compliant version is P39531-B22. As a CTO SKU, it ships as a chassis without processors, memory, drive cage, storage controller or network adapters, so a used unit's contents depend on how it was built.

HPE's QuickSpecs lists support for up to two 4th- or 5th-generation Xeon Scalable processors (up to 64 cores) and 32 DDR5 DIMM slots, 16 per processor. Memory runs at up to 5600 MT/s, with up to 4 TB per processor using 16GB to 256GB DIMMs. There are three x16 PCIe 5.0 mezzanine slots for adapters such as the Synergy 4820c or 6820c CNA and the 5330C or 5830C 32Gb FC HBAs. Front cage options are 2 or 4 SFF SAS/SATA/NVMe, 4 SFF NVMe direct connect, 8 EDSFF E3.S NVMe, or drive-less. An NS204i-d Gen11 M.2 boot controller is optional. Management is iLO 6, with an embedded TPM.

HPE notes that the frame must have the Synergy 12000 High Capacity Fan Kits installed for this module. One frame holds up to twelve SY480 Gen11 modules. PartSurfer lists system board spares P44844-001 and P67765-001, the latter labelled for SPR-EMR (both processor generations), plus M.2 controller board P44843-001.

Before buying, confirm the frame's fans and Composer/OneView firmware support Gen11 modules. HPE lists OneView 8.2 with the module.
