Includes the HP BladeSystem PC Blade Switch pre-installed within the enclosure. Mounts in HP 10000 and 9000 series, HP System-E, as well as third-party, and Telco racks. Rack mounting hardware for HP and third-party racks ships standard with each blade enclosure. Telco rack-mounting hardware is a separately available option kit.

The HP 10000 Series Racks provide enhanced airflow for maximum cooling, allowing these racks to be fully loaded with blade PCs using the latest processors.

CAUTION:

CAUTION:CAUTION: adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:

CAUTION:

CAUTION:CAUTION: arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage. NOTE:

NOTE:

NOTE:NOTE:

If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure

Front and rear doors: If your 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow 5,350 square cm (830 square inches) of hole evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation). Side: The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 inches).

Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack. This

Please consult the Setup & Installation Guide for the blade PC for additional details.

Delivers impressive switching capacities of up to 12.8 Gbps and can be deployed in a wide number of different network deployment scenarios, including Fast Ethernet, edge client connectivity, and wiring closet deployments. Because these switches adhere stringently to industry standards, they can be deployed with other industry-standard compliant networking devices.

Supports a number of industry-standard management interfaces such as web-based management, Command Line Interface (CLI), and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP v1/v2c/v3). For large network environments, HP's SIM™ provides management control to more easily configure large numbers of deployed switches. HP Systems Insight Manager merges the best features of Insight Manager, Toptools, and Servicecontrol Manager to deliver unified management of HP hardware products

Advanced security features help protect the network from accidental or malicious interference. MACbased port security and MAC-based Access Control Lists (ACLs) are designed to prevent unauthorized MAC addresses from accessing the network SNMPv3, SSL and SSH encryption offer the added security of encrypting switch management traffic. RADIUS and TACACS+ support enables centralized, remote authentication of administrative access to the switch. Management access filtering provides a mechanism to limit network hosts that have access to the switches using a wide array of options, such as MAC address, IP address, and VLAN.

Systems Insight Manager helps maximize system uptime and performance and reduces the cost of maintaining the IT infrastructure by providing proactive notification of problems before those problems result in costly downtime and reduced productivity. Insight Manager is easy to set up and provides rapid access to inventory information.
