HP BladeSystem c3000 Tower Enclosure Quick Setup Instructions

Connecting the Onboard
Administrator management
cables
1. Identify all connectors.
Item Connector Description
1
Enclosure
link-down
port
Connects to the enclosure link-up port on the enclosure
beneath it using a CAT5 patch cable.
2
Enclosure
link-up port
and
service
port
Connects to the enclosure link-down port on the
enclosure above it using CAT5 patch cable. On a
stand-alone enclosure or the top enclosure in a series
of linked enclosures, the top enclosure link-up port
may function as a service port.
3 OA1/iLO
Onboard Administrator Ethernet connection. Use a
CAT5 patch cable to connect to the management
network. 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
Reserved for future Onboard Administrator
connections.
NOTE: If the Onboard Administrator is connected to a
network with a DHCP server when you power up the
enclosure, the Onboard Administrator and each iLO (one
for each blade) consumes a DHCP lease.
2. Connect the management network with a standard CAT5 patch
cable.
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.
Mapping half-height blades
The following table lists the available configurations for half-height
devices installed in device bay N (1–8).
NOTE: The port mapping configurations listed in the table
below do not match the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure
port mapping configurations.
