HP BladeSystem c-Class Enclosures

The HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure serves as the host for a variety of common-form-factor
components. The architecture uses scalable device bays (for server or storage blades) and
interconnect bays (for interconnect modules providing fabric connectivity) that facilitate scaling up
or scaling out the BladeSystem infrastructure.
Each HP BladeSystem c-Class Enclosure includes redundant power supply and cooling fan modules,
plus the Onboard Administrator module and Insight Display diagnostic LCD panel for setup and
maintenance. Redundant components and a nonstop mid-plane keep everything up and running
at top performance. In addition, HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures use thermal logic technology
to save on power and cooling.
Insight Display wizards, Onboard Administrator software, and Virtual Connect architecture allow
you to set up and maintain the system, and facilitate adding, replacing, and recovering servers
and other components with ease.
HP offers two c-Class enclosure models to meet the needs of different environments:
