Partner server blade

The partner server blade may be half-height or full-height. When partnering the tape blade with a
full-height server blade, an HP PCI Express Mezzanine Pass-Thru Card is required (option kit part number:
431643-B21). This must be installed prior to operation with the tape blade.
When installing the HP StorageWorks Tape Blade with a half-height server blade:
• the tape blade may be installed in the upper or lower bay adjacent to the server blade. See
"Installation with a half-height partner server
When installing the HP StorageWorks Ultrium Tape Blade with a full-height server blade:
• In a c7000 enclosure , the tape blade must be installed in the lower bay adjacent to the server
blade.
• In a c3000 enclosure, the tape blade must be installed immediately above the partner server
blade in device bay 8. A half-height server blade can be installed in the empty bay next
to the HP StorageWorks Tape Blade, but this server blade cannot be partnered with the
HP StorageWorks Tape Blade.
• Before installing a server blade in the empty bay above the tape blade, c7000 enclosures
require installation of a coupler plate (supplied with the Tape Blade), and c3000
enclosures require installation of a mini divider (supplied with the enclosure). See
"Installation with a full-height partner server

Onboard Administrator

The blade enclosure must be running the correct firmware for it to support the Tape Blade. Onboard
Administrator is used to power the partner server blade on and off, update firmware for the enclosure
and configure it to function with the Tape Blade. Onboard Administrator version 1.3 or later is
required when installing in a c7000 enclosure. In a c3000 enclosure all OA versions support the HP
StorageWorks Tape Blade. For the best reliability, performance and new features update to the most
recent version of the firmware.
