ProLiant BL e-Class C-GbE Interconnect Switch (Option)
The ProLiant BL e-Class C-GbE Interconnect Switch is one of three interconnect
tray options available for server blade network connections. The interconnect
switch concentrates the 40 10/100 Ethernet server blade network connections into
four Gigabit Ethernet uplink connectors. Each uplink can communicate with all
40 of the server network connections; thus, only one to all four of these
connectors may be used providing up to a 40-to-1 reduction in the number of
network cables connected to the enclosure. The interconnect switch is compatible
with industry standards and is fully pre-configured for immediate use.
For more information about these tools and utilities, see Chapter 4, “Deployment and
Management.”
