1 Installing the server blade into the enclosure
Overview
The HP Integrity BL860c i2 Server Blade is a dense, low-cost, Intel® Itanium® processor server blade. Using a Scaleable Blade Link hardware assembly, multiple BL860c i2 Server Blades can be conjoined to create dual-blade four socket and quad-blade eight socket variants.
Number of CPU SocketsNumber of Conjoined Server BladesName
21BL860c i2
42BL870c i2
84BL890c i2
The three blade configurations support the HP-UX operating system and are designed for deployment in c-Class enclosures, specifically the 10U c7000 and the 6U c3000 Enclosures.
NOTE: For purposes of this guide, make surethat the c-Class server blade enclosure is powered on and running properly and that the OA iLO is operational.

SAS disk drives
The BL860c i2 Server Blade has SAS disk drive slots on the BL860c i2 server blade. The SAS disk drives have identical LEDs that display the drive status.
8 Installing the server blade into the enclosure
For the location of the SAS disk LEDs, see “SAS disk drive LEDs” (page 13).
SAS disk backplane
The SAS disk backplane supports two small form factor hard disk drives. The backplane supports hot-plugging a single SAS drive at a time. The activity LEDs and drive present LEDs are controlled by a preprogrammed system-on-chip. The system board hosts the SAS controller and supplies 12 V, 5 V, and 3.3 V standby power to the backplane.
The SAS backplane is connected to the system board with a right angle connector. This connector is specifically designed for high-speed differential applications, and supports server speeds exceeding 5 Gigabits per second. Power, sense, and I2C signals are routed through this connector as well as the SAS differential pairs and SGPIO signals.
I/O subsystem
The I/O subsystem is composed of embedded core I/O and up to three mezzanine cards. The server blade supports the following configurations:
• Up to three type I mezzanine cards
• One type I and up to two type II mezzanine cards using up to x8-PCIe Gen-2 links The server blade does not support PCI Hot Plug.
Partner blade support
The partner blades currently supported are the SB40c storage blade (411243-B21) and the HP BLc PCI Expansion Blade (448018-B21).
Partner blade slotting rules are dependent on the conjoined blade configuration. For more information on partner bay blade locations, see “Installing the Scaleable BladeLink” (page 39).
Memory subsystem
The BL860c i2 physical memory subsystem connects two Itanium® processors to two groups of 12 DDR3 DIMMs. Each processor has two memory controllers.
DIMMs
The memory subsystem supports only DDR3 SDRAM technology using industry-standard 1.2” high DIMMs.

For more DIMM information, see “Installing DIMMs” (page 26).
Power subsystem
The power subsystem is located on the system board. Each server blade receives bulk DC voltage from the enclosure. The server blade power block converts the DC voltage from the enclosure to the voltage required by the server blade. The BL860c i2 Server Blade receives 12 V directly from the enclosure. The voltage passes through E-Fuse circuitry that resides in the blade. The 12 V supply is on as long as a power supply is installed in the enclosure. A control line from the enclosure OA can turn the E-Fuse on or off to supply or cut power to the blade. The 12 V gets distributed to various POL converters. The switched POL voltage rails are: 0.9 V, 1.2 V, 1.5 V,
1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5.0 V, 3.3 V standby, and 5.0 V standby.
Overview 9
Processor and supporting chipset
The BL860c i2 Server Blade contains a processor subsystem accommodating one or two Intel Itanium processor modules.
Each processor module consists of the following:
• CPU chip, including CPU cores, QPI links for CPU-CPU and CPU-IO Hub chip connections, and SMI links for CPU-Memory interface chip connections
• CPU power conversion module
• Heatsink, with mechanical attachment / assembly features
ICH mezzanine card
The ICH mezzanine card houses the following components:
• Intel ICH10 South Bridge
• ATI/AMD RN50/ES1000 Video Controller
• Embedded TPM 1.2
• The internal USB port
One ICH mezzanine card is required per system.
Scaleable BladeLink
Conjoining server blades using the Scaleable BladeLink enables four (BL870c i2) and eight (BL890c i2) socket server blade variants.
In a conjoined configuration, one of the BL860c i2 Server Blades becomes the master blade, also referred to as the monarch blade. The monarch server blade is in the lowest numbered enclosure bay, communication to the conjoined server blade is done through the monarch blade.
Each Scaleable BladeLink includes a trap door for the label carrier. To access the label carrier:
1. Locate the indentation on the upper-right corner of the access door.
2. Use the indent to pull the door open.
For more information see “Installing the Scaleable BladeLink” (page 39).
Enclosure information
All three blade configurations are supported in c7000 and c3000 Enclosures.
For more enclosure information see:
