The HP Integrity BL60p server blade is a dense, low-cost, p-Class Intel® Itanium 2® server blade. The

BL60p server blade supports the HP-UX operating system. The BL60p server blade is designed for

commercial server blade customers deploying p-Class blade enclosures who need an HP-UX operating

environment. The BL60p server blade is consistent with other full-slot, single-width p-Class blades.

NOTE This documentation is based on the assumption that the p-Class server blade enclosure is

powered on and running properly.
