3. If more than one enclosure is installed in the rack, use a CAT5

patch cable to connect the enclosure link-down port on the upper

enclosure to the enclosure link-up port on the lower enclosure.

NOTE: The enclosure link ports are designed only to

support c-Class enclosures in the same rack. The enclosure

link-up port on the top enclosure is the service port, and the

enclosure link-down port on the bottom linked enclosure is

unused.

NOTE: The HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure link ports

are not compatible with the HP BladeSystem p-Class

enclosure link ports.

4. To utilize intelligent power discovery, connect the cables to an

intelligent single-phase AC module, and then to the OAs.

For more information on intelligent power discovery, see the HP

Intelligent Power Distribution Unit User Guide on the HP website

(http://www.hp.com/support/manuals).

Mapping to interconnect ports

Several port types are referenced in the following tables.

• Examples of 1x ports are 1-Gb Ethernet (1 GbE) switch modules

and Fibre Channel interconnect modules.

• An example of a 2x port is a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)

interconnect module. (Reserved for future use.)

• Examples of 4x ports are 10-Gb Ethernet (10 GbE) interconnect

modules.

• Gen8 servers have FlexibleLOM adapters that have the same

port mapping as the previous generation server blade Embedded

NICs.

NOTE: 1x and 2x port mezzanine cards interface with

single-wide interconnect modules. 4x port mezzanine

cards interface with double-wide interconnect modules.

The term "1x/2x" refers to the number of interconnect lanes per port

provided by the controller. The more lanes provided per port, the

higher the data transmission rate coming from that port.

Mapping half-height blades

The following table lists the available configurations for half-height

devices installed in device bay N (1–16).
