(A pair of switches per kit)

(Each server blade enclosure requires a pair of interconnects

- patch panels or interconnect switches)

Interconnect Switch interconnects consolidate the Ethernet signals from the server blades to a smaller set of external copperbased or fiber-based uplink ports for connection to the network infrastructure. Like the Patch Panel interconnects, an option is also available to pass through individual BL20p G2 and BL30p Fibre Channel signals.

The interconnect switches provide up to a 32-to-1 server network cable reduction per server enclosure depending on the mix of BL20p series, BL30p series, and BL40p series blades. Each interconnect switch pair reduces up to sixteen internal server network (NIC) ports to one to six external ports (four on a modular rear mounting interconnect and two on the switch front panel). This provides a total of twelve external ports per server blade enclosure.

The GbE2 Interconnect Kits (C-GbE2 and F-GbE2) provide NIC consolidation to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet), advanced network feature support including layer 3-7 switching, Fibre Channel pass-through (for BL20p series and BL30p series blades), and 10 Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth connectivity to the network. Expandability of both layer 3-7 switching and 10 Gigabit Ethernet is planned with future GbE2 Interconnect Switch upgrade options available through Nortel Networks.

The ProLiant BL p-Class F-GbE2 Interconnect Kit includes two GbE2 Interconnect Switches and two QuadSX Interconnect Modules that provide eight (8) LC 1000 SX and four (4) RJ-45 10/100/1000 T/TX/T external ports per server blade enclosure. The ProLiant BL p-Class C-GbE2 Interconnect Kit includes two GbE2 Interconnect Switches and two QuadT2 Interconnect Modules that provide twelve (12) RJ-45 10/100/1000 T/TX/T external ports per server blade enclosure. The optional ProLiant BL p-Class GbE2 Storage Connectivity Kit (321745 -B21) is required for Fibre Channel passthrough when using either the C-GbE2 or F-GbE2 Interconnect Kit.

The GbE Interconnect Kits (C-GbE and F-GbE) provide NIC consolidation to 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet).

The ProLiant BL p-Class F-GbE Interconnect Kit includes two GbE Interconnect Switches and two DualTSX Interconnect Modules that provide four (4) LC 1000 SX and eight (8) RJ-45 10/100 T/TX external ports per server blade enclosure. The ProLiant BL p-Class C-GbE Interconnect Kit includes two GbE Interconnect Switches and two QuadT Interconnect Modules that provide four (4) RJ-45 10/100/1000 T/TX/T and eight (8) RJ-45 10/100 T/TX external ports per server blade enclosure.

Also included (per Interconnect Switch):

One (1) RS-232 DB-9 front panel out-of-band management port Redundant crosslink ports connecting the two interconnect switches Redundant power inputs and on-board redundant fans Hot-plug and hot- remove with configuration retention and no need to cable/re-cable Power ON, management, and per port status and speed LED indicators Reset/power momentary push-button switch HP ProLiant BL Interconnect Switch Management Utilities and User Documentation CD Fully pre-configured for rapid deployment and immediate operation

The GbE Interconnect Kits (C-GbE and F-GbE) are for applications that require network adapter consolidation to 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet).
