Connecting the ports of embedded devices to the interconnect bays in the c7000 enclosure is
relatively simple. For port mapping purposes, it does not matter in which bay a server blade is
installed. The mezzanine connectors always connect to the same interconnect bays. Figure 9 shows
BladeSystem c7000 port mapping of half-height server blades to interconnect bays. Figure 10 shows
BladeSystem c7000 port mapping of full-height server blades to interconnect bays.

Port mapping differs slightly between full-height and half-height server blades due to the support for
additional mezzanine cards on the full-height version. HP simplified the process of mapping
mezzanine ports to switch ports by providing management tools through the BladeSystem Onboard
Administrator and HP Systems Insight Manager software. Specific port mapping details can be found
