HP BladeSystem p-Class

Enhanced Server Blade

Enclosure

6U (10.5-inch), 19-inch wide Holds up to:

Eight (8) HP ProLiant BL20p server blades series

Sixteen (16) HP ProLiant BL30p server blades series (HP ProLiant BL30p server blade sleeves required)

Two (2) HP ProLiant BL40p server blades series

A combination of the above

NOTE: HP BladeSystem p-Class enhanced server blade enclosures are required to support HP ProLiant BL30p server blades. See compatibility matrix: 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 HP ProLiant BL30p server blades series and provide a single, physical iLO port for the enclosure.

Two (2) outside bays for interconnects (Patch Panel, Patch Panel 2, GbE Interconnect Switch, GbE2, or CGESM Interconnect Switch)

Server blade management module on the rear of the server blade enclosure is hot-plug, has a centralized 10/100T iLO port for all installed blades, reports events of all installed blades and provides asset and inventory information via SNMP.

Interconnect Switch

Option

(A pair of switches per kit)

(Each HP BladeSystem p- Class server blade enclosure requires a pair of interconnects - patch panels or interconnect switches)

Interconnect Switch interconnects consolidate the Ethernet signals from the server blades to a smaller set of external copper-based or fiber-based uplink ports for connection to the network infrastructure. Like the Patch Panel interconnects, an option is also available to pass through individual HP ProLiant BL20p G2 and HP ProLiant BL30p Fibre Channel signals. The interconnect switches provide up to a 32-to-1 server network cable reduction per server enclosure depending on the mix of HP ProLiant BL20p server blade series, HP ProLiant BL30p server blade series, and HP ProLiant BL40p server blades series. Each interconnect switch pair reduces up to sixteen internal server network (NIC) ports to one to six external ports (four on a modular rear mounting interconnect and two on the switch front panel). This provides a total of twelve external ports per server blade enclosure.

The Cisco GESM and GbE2 Interconnect Kits (C-GbE2 and F-GbE2) are for applications that require network adapter consolidation to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and HP ProLiant BL30p Fibre Channel pass-through.
