HP ProLiant BL25p Server Blade

Standard Features (Server Blade Enclosure and Interconnects)

ProLiant BL p-Class	The Storage Connectivity Kit is used if HP ProLiant BL25p Fibre Channel signal pass-through is desired
Storage Connectivity Kit	when using the CGESM or GbE2 Interconnect Switch. Therefore, both LAN cable consolidation and SAN
Option	connectivity is possible using a single interconnect option. Order one Storage Connectivity Kit per server
(Supports two CGESM or	blade enclosure for Fibre Channel pass through.
GbE2 switches per kit)	The Storage Connectivity Kit includes two OctalFC Interconnect Modules that provide sixteen open
	transceiver slots for the pluggable small form factor transceivers that come with each HP ProLiant
	BL25/45p Dual port Fibre Channel Adapter. The Storage Connectivity Kit supports up to eight HP
	ProLiant BL25p server blades (for a total of sixteen Fibre Channel signals).

ProLiant BL p-Class RJ-45 Patch Panel

(Two patch panels per kit) (Every BL p-Class server blade enclosure requires two Interconnect switches OR two RJ-45 patch panels)

6U (10.5-inch), Plugs into HP BladeSystem p-Class 6U server blade enclosures

Used to pass NIC signals from all server blades in server blade enclosure out as RJ-45 connections

Supports Gigabit Ethernet network adapters

16 RJ-45 connectors on the back of each BL p-Class 6U RJ-45 Patch Panel (32 RJ-45 connections per server blade enclosure)

ProLiant BL p-Class RJ-45

Patch Panel 2 (with Fibre

Channel pass through)

(Two patch panels per kit) (Every BL p-Class server blade enclosure requires two Interconnect switches OR two RJ-45 patch panels)

NOTE: The Patch Panel 2 or a Switch Interconnect Kit is required for SAN connectivity on the HP ProLiant BL25p server blade

6U (10.5-inch), Plugs into HP BladeSystem p-Class 6U server blade enclosures

Used to pass NIC signals from all server blades in server blade enclosure out as RJ-45 connections also used to pass Fibre Channel signals for SAN connectivity

Supports Gigabit Ethernet network adapters

16 RJ-45 connectors on the back of each RJ-45 patch panel 2 (32 RJ-45 connections per server blade enclosure)

Fibre Channel,	Fibre Channel signals travel from a HP ProLiant BL25p server blade with a
pass through	Dual-Port Fibre Channel Adapter through p-Class server blade enclosure
	backplane. The Fibre Channel signals are terminated through the RJ-45
	Patch Panel 2 in the interconnect bays. To provide redundancy each server
	blade has two Fibre Channel signals and one Fibre Channel signal
	terminates through the right RJ-45 Patch Panel 2, one Fibre Channel signal
	travels terminates through the left RJ-45 Patch Panel 2.
	8 Fibre Channel small form factor pluggable (SPF) transceiver slots on the
	front of each RJ-45 patch panel 2 (16 Fibre Channel connections per server
	blade enclosure); for insertion of SPF transceivers included with the Dual-port
	Fibre Channel Adapter
