Connecting to the network

To connect the HP BladeSystem to a network, each server blade enclosure must be configured with a pair

of network interconnects to manage signals between the server blades and the external network. For more

information about interconnect options, refer to the HP website

(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/interconnects).

Each server blade enclosure requires a pair of interconnect modules to provide network access for data

transfer. Interconnect modules reside in the far right and far left bays of the server blade enclosure. Be

sure to review server blade bay numbering to determine the server blade external network connections on

the interconnects. Resolve bay numbering before determining connections between the server blades and

interconnects.

The HP ProLiant BL45p Generation 2 Server Blade requires the support of an HP BladeSystem p-Class

Server Blade Enclosure with enhanced backplane components (enhanced server blade enclosure). For

more information on compatibility of enclosures, refer to the HP website

(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/enclosure/compatibility).

An iLO 2 connector resides on the server blade management module of the enhanced server blade

enclosure. This RJ-45 connector enables remote manageability for each server blade in the enhanced

server blade enclosure.

For more information about the enhanced server blade enclosure, refer to the HP ProLiant BL p-Class

Server Blade Enclosure Upgrade Installation Guide or the HP ProLiant BL p-Class Server Blade Enclosure

Installation Guide.

A pair of RJ-45 patch panels provides all Ethernet network connections for one server blade enclosure

through two 10-connector interconnect modules and two 6-connector interconnect modules.
