Standard Features (Server Blade Enclosure and Interconnects)

HP BladeSystem p-Class Server Blade Enclosures and ProLiant BL p-Class Interconnects

HP BladeSystem

p-Class Server Blade

Enclosures

6U (10.5-inch), 19-inch wide

Holds up to 8 HP ProLiant BL25p servers blades

10 bays per server blade enclosure 8 bays for server blades

2 outside bays for interconnect modules (RJ-45 Patch Panel, RJ-45 Patch Panel 2, GbE Interconnect Switch, GbE2 Interconnect Switch or CGESM Interconnect Switch)

Server blades blind mate into the server blade enclosure backplane for power and data connections

NOTE: HP BladeSystem p-Class Enhanced Server Blade enclosures might be required depending on which HP ProLiant BL25p server blade model is selected. http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/enclosure/compatibility

NOTE: Server Blade Enclosure Upgrade Kit (354100-B21) contains enhanced backplane components and enables a field upgrade of a blade enclosure to support specific HP ProLiant BL25p server blade models and provide a single, physical iLO port for the enclosure.

Server blade management module attached to the back of each HP BladeSystem p-Class 6U server blade enclosure to report events all servers and provide asset and inventory information

HP BladeSystem	Redundant 200V - 240V AC, 30 amp single-phase
p-Class Power	Redundant 208V 30amp 3-phase 4 wire
Requirements	Redundant -48VDC ± 10%

ProLiant BL p-Class

Interconnect Switch

Option

(Every HP BladeSystem p- Class server blade enclosure requires two interconnect switches OR two RJ-45 patch panels)

Provides up to a 32 to 1 server networking cable reduction per server enclosure depending on the mix of HP ProLiant BL20p, HP ProLiant BL25p, HP ProLiant BL30p, HP ProLiant BL35p, HP ProLiant BL40p and HP ProLiant BL45p server blades. Each interconnect switch (two per enclosure) reduces up to sixteen internal server network (NIC) ports to six external ports (four on a modular rear mounting interconnect module and two on the switch front panel). This provides a total of twelve external ports per server blade enclosure. Only one to all twelve external ports may be used per server blade enclosure.

The Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module (CGESM) Interconnect Kits are for applications that require network adapter consolidation to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) in a Cisco infrastructure. The CGESM supports the same and HP ProLiant BL25p Fibre Channel pass-through as the GbE2.

The Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module Interconnect kit includes one CGESM Interconnect Switch or one CGESM with four (4) 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 BL25p Fibre Channel pass-through when using either the CGESM Interconnect Kit.
