Enclosures
HP recommends the HP BladeSystem c7000 Platinum Enclosure.
IMPORTANT: For proper airflow and cooling, fill any empty interconnect bays with blanks.
The BladeSystem c7000 Platinum enclosure provides all the power, cooling, and I/O infrastructure
needed to support modular server, interconnect, and storage components today and throughout
the next several years. The enclosure is 10U high and holds up to 16 server and/or storage blades,
plus optional redundant network and storage interconnect modules. It includes a shared, 5 Tbps
high-speed NonStop mid-plane for wire-once connectivity of server blades to network and shared
storage. Power is delivered through a pooled-power backplane, and power input flexibility is
provided with choices of single-phase, 3-Phase AC input, and 48V DC input.
NOTE: HP Intelligent Series Racks with location discovery service enable tracking of new
installations and equipment moves. Using the location discovery service requires both the HP
BladeSystem c7000 G2 Platinum Enclosure and an Intelligent Series rack with a location discovery
kit.
