Internal ports summary
Sixteen logical internal ports (numbered 1 through 16) connect sequentially to server bays 1 through
16 via the enclosure midplane. Server bay 1 is connected to Switch Port 1, Server bay 2 is
connected to Switch port 2, and so forth.
Switch redundancy
The HP c-Class BladeSystem was engineered as a no-single-point-of-failure bladed solution.
Attributes that contribute to switch redundancy include:
•
Redundant power and cooling
•
Redundant HP Onboard Administrator (OA) to ensure management access to the switch
NOTE:
The HP Onboard Administrator is the enclosure management module used to support and manage
the HP c-Class BladeSystem and all managed devices used in the enclosure.
