Device Bay Crosslinks; Interconnect Bay Crosslinks - HP Xw460c - ProLiant - Blade Workstation Setup And Installation Manual

Bay-to-bay crosslinks
Four trace SerDes signals between adjacent bays are provided in the enclosure midplane to permit bay-to-
bay communications. Interconnect modules can only connect horizontally.

Device bay crosslinks

Device bay crosslinks are wired between adjacent horizontal device bay pairs.
For half-height blades, these signals connect a four-lane PCIe module to a partner blade such as a tape
blade or a PCI expansion blade. For full-height blades, these signals are used to connect a PCIe module
to a partner blade in the lower adjacent bay and require a PCIe pass-thru mezzanine card installed in
mezzanine connector 3. The Onboard Administrator disables the device bay crosslinks when they cannot
be used, such as when two server blades reside in adjacent device bays.

Interconnect bay crosslinks

Interconnect bay crosslinks are wired between adjacent interconnect bay pairs.
