Standard Features (Server Blade Enclosure and Interconnects)
The Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module (CGESM) Interconnect Kit is for applications that require network adapter consolidation to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) in a Cisco infrastructure. The CGESM supports the same and HP ProLiant BL30p Fibre Channel pass-through as the GbE2.
The Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module Interconnect kit includes one CGESM Interconnect Switch or one CGESM Interconnect Switch populated with two (2) RJ-45 10/100/1000 T/TX/T Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Modules.
Quantity 2 Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module Interconnect kits provide two CGESM Interconnect Switches providing any combination of up to twelve (12) RJ-45 10/100/1000 T/TX/T or Fiber SX external ports per server blade enclosure.
The optional ProLiant BL p-Class Storage Connectivity Kit (321745 -B21) is required for HP ProLiant BL30p Fibre Channel pass-through when using either the CGESM Interconnect Kit.
The GbE2 Interconnect Kits (C-GbE2 and F-GbE2) provide NIC consolidation to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet), advanced network feature, Fibre Channel pass-through (for HP ProLiant BL20p server blade series and HP ProLiant BL30p server blades series), and 1 Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth connectivity to the network.
The ProLiant BL p-Class F-GbE2 Interconnect Kit includes two GbE2 Interconnect Switches and two QuadSX Interconnect Modules that provide eight (8) LC 1000 SX and four (4) RJ-45 10/100/1000 T/TX/T external ports per server blade enclosure.
The ProLiant BL p-Class C-GbE2 Interconnect Kit includes two GbE2 Interconnect Switches and two QuadT2 Interconnect Modules that provide twelve (12) RJ-45 10/100/1000 T/TX/T external ports per server blade enclosure.
The optional ProLiant BL p-Class Storage Connectivity Kit (321745 -B21) is required for Fibre Channel pass-through when using either the C-GbE2 or F-GbE2 Interconnect Kit.
The GbE Interconnect Kits (C-GbE and F-GbE) provide NIC consolidation to 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet).
The ProLiant BL p-Class F-GbE Interconnect Kit includes two GbE Interconnect Switches and two DualTSX Interconnect Modules that provide four (4) LC 1000 SX and eight (8) RJ-45 10/100 T/TX external ports per server blade enclosure.
The ProLiant BL p-Class C-GbE Interconnect Kit includes two GbE Interconnect Switches and two QuadT Interconnect Modules that provide four (4) RJ-45 10/100/1000 T/TX/T and eight (8) RJ- 45 10/100 T/TX external ports per server blade enclosure.
Also included (per Interconnect Switch):
One (1) RS-232 DB-9 front panel out-of-band management port
Redundant crosslink ports connecting the two interconnect switches
Redundant power inputs and on-board redundant fans
Hot-plug and hot- remove with configuration retention and no need to cable/re-cable
Power ON, management, and per port status and speed LED indicators
Reset/power momentary push-button switch
