HP BladeSystem c-Class c7000 Enclosure A BladeSystem c7000 enclosure holds up to 16 server and/or storage blades plus redundant network and storage switches. It includes a shared, multi-terabit high-speed mid-plane for wire-once
connectivity of server blades to network and shared storage. Power is delivered through a pooled power backplane that ensures the full capacity of the redundant hot-plug power supplies is
available to all blades.
Each c7000 enclosure is built with the following functions:
Up to 16 half-height and/or up to 8 full-height server blades and/or storage blades per enclosure.
Up to 4 different interconnect fabrics (Ethernet, FC, IB, iSCSI, SAS, etc.) supported simultaneously within the enclosure.
Choice of a single-phase, three-phase or a -48V DC power subsystem for flexibility in connecting to datacenter power.
HP Thermal Logic technology for lower power consumption and airflow.
Four (4) or Ten (10) Active Cool 200 fans as standard. For redundancy and improved power consumption and acoustics; additional Active Cool 200 Fan kits can be added for a maximum of
10 fans.
Redundant hot-plug cooling, redundant hot-plug power supplies, redundant connections, redundant interconnect modules, optional redundant BladeSystem Onboard Administrator
management modules.
Lowest cost of ownership.
Full AC redundancy - with no power zones.
An BladeSystem Onboard Administrator management module is built in to the enclosure with the following functions:
Robust, multiple enclosure setup and control.
Reports asset and inventory information for the devices in the enclosure.
Reports thermal and power information, including real-time actual power usage per server and per enclosure.
Front-mounted Insight Display for easy management within the datacenter.
Integrated access to all server blade iLOs from a single cable.
Provides integrated access to interconnect bay device management ports from the single BladeSystem Onboard Administrator cable.
Single sign-on capability for all devices in the enclosure
Role-based security locally and/or with LDAP directory services.
Provides a wizard-based initial setup process for easy configuration.
A BladeSystem c7000 enclosure provides the following benefits:
With local and remote hardware management integrated across the solution, one full enclosure can be managed as easily as one server.
Scalable: Management and network interconnects extend scalability beyond a single enclosure, allowing resources to be pooled and shared across multiple enclosures.
Investment protection: Accommodates multiple server and network designs in one enclosure.
Lower costs per server, in comparison to rack-mounted servers
Lower power consumption, in comparison to rack-mounted servers.
Lower airflow requirements, in comparison to rack-mounted servers

HP SB40c Storage Blade Direct attached storage
The SB40c Storage Blade delivers direct attached storage for c-Class servers, with support for up to six hot plug small form factor (SFF) SAS or SATA hard disk drives. The enclosure backplane
provides a PCI Express connection to the adjacent c-Class server blade and enables high performance storage access without any additional cables. The SB40c Storage Blade features an
onboard Smart Array P400 controller with 256 MB battery-backed write cache, for increased performance and data protection.
Shared storage
Use HP LeftHand P4000 Virtual SAN Appliance (VSA) software to turn the SB40c into an iSCSI SAN for use by all severs in the enclosure and any server on the network. HP LeftHand VSA
software is installed in a virtual machine on a VMware ESX host server adjacent to the SB40c. HP LeftHand P4000 VSA turns the SB40c into a scalable and robust iSCSI SAN, featuring, storage
clustering for scalability, Network RAID for storage failover, thin provisioning, snapshots, remote replication, and cloning. Expand capacity within the same enclosure or to other BladeSystem
enclosures by adding additional SB40c Storage Blades and HP LeftHand VSA licenses. http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12587_div/12587_div.html
HP Ultrium Tape Blades The HP SB1760c is an LTO-4 Ultrium, 1.6 TB capacity on a single cartridge (2:1 compression), 576 GB/hr performance (2:1 compression), 128 MB buffer size, WORM capability, AES 256-bit
hardware data encryption capability.
Tape blades are ideal for HP BladeSystem c-Class customers who need a data protection solution but are not connected into a Storage Area Network (SAN). They provide direct attach data
protection for the adjacent server and network backup protection for all other data within the enclosure. The HP tape blades are the industry's first bladed tape drives and are developed exclusively
for the BladeSystem c-Class enclosures.

HP Network Storage Servers HP X1800sb Network Storage Blade
HP X1800sb Network Storage Blade is a flexible storage server solution for BladeSystem environments. Combine the X1800sb with the SB40c Storage Blade to enable file serving and iSCSI
shared storage inside the BladeSystem enclosure. The flexibility of the X1800sb extends to external storage as well. The X1800sb can also be used as a low cost SAN gateway to provide
consolidated file-serving access to FC, SAS, or iSCSI SANs.
NOTE: See the QuickSpecs for Technical Specifications and additional information:

HP X3800sb Network Storage Gateway
The X3800sb Network Storage Gateway Blade is used to access FC, SAS, or iSCSI SAN storage, translating file data from the server into blocks for storage to provide consolidated file, print, and
management hosting services in a cluster-able package.
Built on the HP ProLiant BL460c Server Blade, the HP X3800sb Network Storage Gateway Blade is a ready to deploy SAN gateway solution, with Microsoft Storage Server 2008, Enterprise x64
Edition pre-installed. The HP Rapid Start-up Wizard accelerates new deployments by walking you through basic system settings step-by-step. The X3800sb also includes a Microsoft Cluster Server

Dynamic Power Capping HP Dynamic Power Capping is the industry's first and only power capping solution that lets you reclaim trapped power and cooling capacity without putting electrical infrastructure or server
performance at risk. The enclosure Dynamic Power Cap will be shared amongst all of the installed devices and individual server caps will be changed to match the server load. This will optimize
the performance of the servers while ensuring that the enclosure stays below the cap value.
Rack Airflow Requirements Rack 10000 G2 series cabinets
The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling efficiency for rack-mounted servers. The G2 10000 Series Racks provide enhanced airflow for
maximum cooling, allowing these racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest processors.
NOTE: For operation with the DC Input Module the G2 1000 Series Rack Extension is required to allow DC Power Cabling to be installed.
CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:
Front and rear doors: If your 42U server rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow 830 square inches (5,350 sq cm) of hole evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit
adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).
The clearance from face of rack to inside of the front door needs to be 1.75" minimum.
Side: The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a minimum of 2.75 inches (7 cm).
Depth: Minimum 39.4 inches (1000mm) for AC power, 47 inches (1200mm) for DC Power Input
Adjustable rack rails are shipped with each enclosure:
Minimum rail length: 25 inches (635mm)
Maximum rail length: 34 inches (864mm)
CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack. This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in
improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
