Options
Gigabit Ethernet Mezzanines

HP NC360m Dual Port 1GbE BL-c Adapter
HP NC364m Quad Port 1GbE BL-c Adapter

10 Gigabit Ethernet Mezzanines
NOTE: A 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter is required for each server blade connecting to a
10Gb interconnect in bays 3-8 (HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure) or bays 2-4 (HP
BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure).
NOTE: Each 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter requires a minimum of 2GB of server memory.
NOTE: Only (2) 10 Gigabit Ethernet mezzanine cards can be installed in the BL685c G7 at
the same time.
NOTE: Each 10 Gigabit Either adapter supports linking at 1000Mbps or 10000Mbps
when not connected to a Flex-10 enabled module and will link with all current 1Gb
switches at 1Gb.
NOTE: The ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) feature allows for the configuring of a
FlexFabric Adapter to any of the supported protocols. For example iSCSI to FCoE (Fibre
Channel over Ethernet). Note that a HP Virtual Connect profile takes precedence over
the setting in this menu. Also, some FlexFabric Adapters may require that network boot
be enabled in order to configure the protocol. If the protocol is configured without
enabling network boot with certain FlexFabric Adapters, the protocol may not take
effect. Once the protocol has taken effect on the first boot after configuring this option,
network boot may be disabled if desired.
