General Configuration Guidelines

The following are general guidelines for configuring HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosures:

•Up to four enclosures can be mounted in an HP 42U Infrastructure Rack.

•If an enclosure is not fully populated with fans and power supplies, see the positioning guidelines in the HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosure documentation.

•Enclosures are cabled together using their uplink and downlink ports.

•The top uplink port in each rack is used as a service port to attach a laptop or other device for initial configuration or subsequent debugging.
