Pin Specification - HP ProLiant BL p-Class GbE2 User Manual

When connecting the HP ProLiant BL p-class GbE2 Interconnect Switch to a switch, bridge,
or hub, an Ethernet cable is necessary.
Figure I-1 displays the standard RJ-45 receptacle/connector for 10/100 Mb/s and Gigabit over
Copper ports. Table I-1 indicates the pin number and wire color assignments for the switch-
to-network adapter card connection, and the Ethernet cable for the switch-to-switch, switch-
to-hub, or switch-to-bridge connection. Table I-2 provides the same information for the
Gigabit over Copper ports.
NOTE: A cable configured for Gigabit over Copper can also be used on a 10/100-Mb/s connection.
