2.9 Enclosures
An enclosure is a physical structure that contains server blades, the Onboard Administrator, and
interconnects.
For information about the supported enclosure models, see the HP OneView Support Matrix.
The enclosure provides the hardware connections between the interconnect downlinks and the
installed server blades.
The enclosure interconnects provide the physical uplinks to the data center networks.
When you add an enclosure, the appliance discovers and adds all of the components within the
enclosure, including any installed server blades and any installed interconnects.
Relationship to other resources
An enclosure resource is associated with the following resources in the resource summary
diagram (page 29):
• Exactly one enclosure group
• Zero or more physical interconnects
• One logical interconnect and one logical interconnect group (through the enclosure’s association
with enclosure groups and interconnects)
• Zero or one rack resource
• Zero or more power delivery devices
