Internal ports summary

Sixteen logical internal ports (numbered 1 through 16) connect sequentially to server bays 1 through 16 via the enclosure midplane. Server bay 1 is connected to Switch Port 1, Server bay 2 is connected to Switch port 2, and so forth.

Switch redundancy

The HP c-Class BladeSystem was engineered as a no-single-point-of-failure bladed solution. Attributes that contribute to switch redundancy include:

•Redundant power and cooling

•Redundant HP Onboard Administrator (OA) to ensure management access to the switch

NOTE:

The HP Onboard Administrator is the enclosure management module used to support and manage the HP c-Class BladeSystem and all managed devices used in the enclosure.
