The optional GbE2 Storage connectivity kit provides pass-through of ProLiant BL20p G3,
ProLiant BL25p, ProLiant BL30p, BL35p, and ProLiant BL45p FC signals. This kit includes two OctalFC
interconnect module connect modules, each with eight SFF slots. The SFF transceivers with LC
connectors shipped with each BL20p G3, BL25p, or BL45p Dual Port FC Mezzanine Card are
installed in the OctalFC SFF slots. Two optical cables with LC connectors will be required for each
ProLiant BL20p G3, ProLiant BL25p, or ProLiant BL45p Server Blade with the Dual Port FC Mezzanine
Card installed or each pair of ProLiant BL30p or ProLiant BL35p Server Blades with the Dual-Port FC
Adapter installed. LC-to-SC optical connector converters can be used if SC connectors are preferred.
