HP ProLiant BL30p Server Blade
Standard Features (Server Blade Enclosure and Interconnects)
ProLiant BL p-Class
Interconnect Switch
Option
(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 copper-based 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
pass-through 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

interconnect option. Order one GbE2 Storage Connectivity Kit per server blade enclosure for Fibre Channel pass
through of BL20p and BL30p series blades.
The GbE2 Storage Connectivity Kit includes two OctalFC Interconnect Modules that provide sixteen open transceiver
cages for the pluggable small form factor transceivers that come with each BL30p Dual-Port Fibre Channel Adapter

The benefits to the RJ-45 Patch Panel are that it:
- Allows the customer to connect signals to their own LAN infrastructure components.
- Provides very economical option enabling the lowest cost blade solution.
- Is completely passive and requires no software or management.

Channel pass through
Fibre Channel signals travel from a ProLiant BL20p series and/or BL30p series blades through the server blade
enclosure backplane. Fibre Channel signals are terminated through the RJ-45 Patch Panel 2 or GbE2 Interconnect
Switch (with GbE2 Storage Connectivity Kit) in the interconnect bays. To provide redundancy each server blade has
two Fibre Channel signals; one Fibre Channel signal terminates through the right interconnect, the other Fibre
Channel signal terminates through the left interconnect.
Eight Fibre Channel small form factor pluggable (SPF) transceiver cages exist on the front of each RJ-45 Patch Panel
2 and rear of each GbE2 Interconnect Switch (16 Fibre Channel connections per server blade enclosure). The SPF
cages are used for insertion of SPF transceivers included with the BL20p G2 Dual-port Fibre Channel Mezzanine
Card and the BL30p Dual-Port Fibre Channel Adapter.
