Item Connector Description
3 OA1/iLO
Onboard Administrator 1000BaseT or 100BaseT
RJ45 Ethernet connection for the HP c3000 Dual
Onboard Administrator module. Use a CAT5
patch cable to connect to the management
network. If the c3000 Dual Onboard
Administrator module is the active Onboard
Administrator, connect to this port to remotely
communicate with the Onboard Administrator,
all iLO ports on each blade, and supporting
interconnect module management parts.
4 OA2/iLO
Onboard Administrator 1000BaseT or 100BaseT
Rj45 Ethernet connection for the HP c3000 DDR2
Onboard Administrator module. Use a CAT5
patch cable to connect to the management
network. If the c3000 DDR2 Onboard
Administrator module is the active Onboard
Administrator, connect to this port to remotely
communicate with the Onboard Administrator,
all iLO ports on each blade, and supporting
interconnect module management parts.
2. Connect the management network with a standard CAT5 patch
cable.
NOTE: If more than one enclosure is installed in the rack,
use a CAT5 patch cable to connect the enclosure
link-down port on the upper enclosure to the enclosure
link-up port on the lower enclosure.
3. Connect the management link cable between c-Class enclosures
in the same rack.
NOTE: The enclosure link ports are designed only to
support c-Class enclosures in the same rack. The enclosure
link-up port on the top enclosure is the service port, and the
enclosure link-down port on the bottom linked enclosure is
unused.
NOTE: The HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure link ports
are not compatible with the HP BladeSystem p-Class
enclosure link ports.
Mapping to interconnect ports
Several port types are referenced in the following tables.
• Examples of 1x ports are 1-Gb Ethernet (1 GbE) switch modules
and Fibre Channel interconnect modules.
• An example of a 2x port is a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
interconnect module. (Reserved for future use.)
• Examples of 4x ports are 10-Gb Ethernet (10 GbE) interconnect
modules.
NOTE: 1x and 2x port mezzanine cards interface with
single-wide interconnect modules. 4x port mezzanine
cards interface with double-wide interconnect modules.
The term "1x/2x" refers to the number of interconnect lanes per port
provided by the controller. The more lanes provided per port, the
higher the data transmission rate coming from that port.

devices installed in device bay N (1–8)
