* Using the BL890c i4 server blade, an additional eight connections can still be added. Each pair is connect to bays 1 
and 2. The first four pairs of entries are mapped to LOM 1 and LOM 2 on each blade, and the last four pairs of entries 
are mapped to LOM 3 and LOM 4 on each blade.

Virtual Connect and Insight Control Server 
Deployment 
If you plan on using VC-assigned MAC addresses and WWNs and are also working with server software 
that will be licensed by MAC addresses or WWNs, assign server profiles before deploying an image 
through HP Insight Control Server Deployment or attaching the license. 
Always apply relevant licenses that are dependent on MAC addresses after the server profiles are assigned 
so that the licenses are not lost due to a change in MAC address.
