NOTE: Virtual Connect FlexFabric-20/40 F8 modules are supported on c7000 enclosures with the following SKUs: 5XXXXX-
B21, 6XXXXX-B21, and 7XXXXX-B21. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends a c7000 enclosure with a 10-fan configuration
when HPE Virtual Connect FlexFabric-20/40 F8 modules are installed.
NOTE: The following tables show a number of supported configurations for an HPE BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure with
Virtual Connect FlexFabric-20/40 F8 Modules. Not all possible combinations are shown here. A maximum of 6 VC FlexFabric-
20/40 F8 modules are allowed in each enclosure. A total of 16 Ethernet and 16 VC-FC type modules can be installed in a multi-
enclosure domain. Each FlexFabric module counts as one Ethernet and one VC-FC module. Combinations of FlexFabric, VC-
Enet and VC-FC modules are allowed as long as the 16-module limit for each module type (Ethernet and FC) is not exceeded in
the domain.
NOTE: If more than two VC FlexFabric-20/40 F8 Modules are installed in an enclosure, the ambient temperature cannot
exceed 30C or physical damage may result.
NOTE: VC FlexFabric modules are not supported in HPE BladeSystem c3000 enclosures.
