Stacking Configuration Stacking links are used to interconnect Virtual Connect Ethernet Modules when using more than one
enclosure or when using more than two Virtual Connect Ethernet Modules in a single enclosure.
All Virtual Connect Modules within the VC Domain must be interconnected. Any combination of 1Gb and
10Gb cables can be used to interconnect the Virtual Connect Modules; however the following provides
recommended configurations (note that a built-in 10Gb link is provided between modules in horizontally
adjacent bays). Supported cable lengths on 10Gb uplinks are 3 to 15 meters and supported 10Gb stacking
links (connecting between two HP Virtual Connect Ethernet Modules) are 0.5 to 7 meters. Interconnecting
the modules allows all Ethernet NICs on all server blades in the Virtual Connect domain to have access to
any Virtual Connect uplink port. By using these module-to-module links, a single pair of uplinks can be
used as the data center network connections for the entire Virtual Connect domain, and allows any server
blade to be connected to any Ethernet network.
NOTE: Supported module-to-module and multi-enclosure stacking configurations may be found in the
HP Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem Setup and Installation Guide which can be downloaded at the
