(Supports two CGESM or

The Storage Connectivity Kit is used if HP ProLiant BL25p Fibre Channel signal pass-through is desired
when using the CGESM or GbE2 Interconnect Switch. Therefore, both LAN cable consolidation and SAN
connectivity is possible using a single interconnect option. Order one Storage Connectivity Kit per server
blade enclosure for Fibre Channel pass through.
The Storage Connectivity Kit includes two OctalFC Interconnect Modules that provide sixteen open
transceiver slots for the pluggable small form factor transceivers that come with each HP ProLiant
BL25/45p Dual port Fibre Channel Adapter. The Storage Connectivity Kit supports up to eight HP
ProLiant BL25p server blades (for a total of sixteen Fibre Channel signals).

pass through

Fibre Channel signals travel from a HP ProLiant BL25p server blade with a
Dual-Port Fibre Channel Adapter through p-Class server blade enclosure
backplane. The Fibre Channel signals are terminated through the RJ-45
Patch Panel 2 in the interconnect bays. To provide redundancy each server
blade has two Fibre Channel signals and one Fibre Channel signal
terminates through the right RJ-45 Patch Panel 2, one Fibre Channel signal
travels terminates through the left RJ-45 Patch Panel 2.
8 Fibre Channel small form factor pluggable (SPF) transceiver slots on the
front of each RJ-45 patch panel 2 (16 Fibre Channel connections per server
blade enclosure); for insertion of SPF transceivers included with the Dual-port
Fibre Channel Adapter
