HP BladeSystem c-Class SAN connectivity technology brief

The HP BladeSystem c3000 enclosure (Figure 2) is similar in design and functionality to the c7000
enclosure but has a compact 6U chassis that can be installed in a rack or deployed as a stand-alone
tower. The c3000 enclosure supports the same c-Class server blades and interconnects used in the
c7000 enclosure.
