Mapping To Interconnect Ports - HP BladeSystem c7000 Quick Setup Instructions Manual

Item Connector Description
4
VGA VGA DB-15 connector with PC standard pinout.
connector To access the KVM menu or Onboard
Administrator with KVM CLI, connect a VGA
monitor or rack KVM monitor for enclosure KVM.
5 Enclosure Connects to the enclosure link-up port on the
link-down enclosure below with a CAT5 patch cable.
port
6 Enclosure Connects to the enclosure link-down port on the
link-up enclosure above with a CAT5 patch cable. On a
port and stand-alone enclosure or the top enclosure in a
service series of linked enclosures, the top enclosure
port link-up port functions as a service port.
2. To connect to the management network, connect a standard
CAT5 patch cable to the OA/iLO port of each installed Onboard
Administrator with KVM module.
3. If more than one enclosure is installed in the rack, use a CAT5
patch cable to connect the enclosure link-down port on the upper
enclosure to the enclosure link-up port on the lower enclosure.
NOTE: The enclosure link ports are designed only to
support c-Class enclosures in the same rack. The enclosure
link-up port on the top enclosure is the service port, and the
enclosure link-down port on the bottom linked enclosure is
unused.
NOTE: The HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure link ports
are not compatible with the HP BladeSystem p-Class
enclosure link ports.

Mapping to interconnect ports

Several port types are referenced in the following tables.
• Examples of 1x ports are 1-Gb Ethernet (1 GbE) switch modules
and Fibre Channel interconnect modules.
• An example of a 2x port is a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
interconnect module. (Reserved for future use.)
Examples of 4x ports are 10-Gb Ethernet (10 GbE) interconnect
•
modules.
NOTE: 1x and 2x port mezzanine cards interface with
single-wide interconnect modules. 4x port mezzanine
cards interface with double-wide interconnect modules.
The term "1x/2x" refers to the number of interconnect lanes per port
provided by the controller. The more lanes provided per port, the
higher the data transmission rate coming from that port.

devices installed in device bay N (1–16).
