A BladeSystem c7000 enclosure holds up to 16 server and/or storage blades plus redundant network and storage switches. It includes a shared, multi-terabit high-speed mid-plane for wire-once connectivity of server blades to network and shared storage. Power is delivered through a pooled power backplane that ensures the full capacity of the redundant hot-plug power supplies is available to all blades.

Each c7000 enclosure is built with the following functions:

• Up to 16 half-height and/or up to 8 full-height server blades and/or storage blades per enclosure.
• Up to 4 different interconnect fabrics (Ethernet, FC, IB, iSCSI, SAS, etc.) supported simultaneously within the enclosure.
• Choice of a single-phase, three-phase or a -48V DC power subsystem - for flexibility in connecting to datacenter power.
• HP Thermal Logic technology for lower power consumption and airflow.
• Four (4) or Six (6) Active Cool fans as standard. For redundancy and improved power consumption and acoustics; additional Active Cool Fan kits can be added for a maximum of 10 fans.
• Redundant hot-plug cooling, redundant hot-plug power supplies, redundant connections, redundant interconnect modules, optional redundant Onboard Administrator management modules.
• Lowest cost of ownership.
• Full AC redundancy - with no power zones.

An Onboard Administrator management module is built in to the enclosure with the following functions:

• Robust, multiple enclosure setup and control.
• Reports asset and inventory information for the devices in the enclosure.
• Reports thermal and power information, including real-time actual power usage per server and per enclosure.
• Front-mounted Insight Display for easy management within the datacenter.
• Integrated access to all server blade iLOs from a single cable.
• Provides integrated access to interconnect bay device management ports from the single Onboard Administrator cable.
• Single sign-on capability for all devices in the enclosure
• Role-based security locally and/or with LDAP directory services.
• Provides a wizard-based initial setup process for easy configuration.

A BladeSystem c7000 enclosure provides the following benefits:

• With local and remote hardware management integrated across the solution, one full enclosure can be managed as easily as one server.
• Scalable: Management and network interconnects extend scalability beyond a single enclosure, allowing resources to be pooled and shared across multiple enclosures.
• Investment protection: Accommodates multiple server and network designs in one enclosure.
• Lower costs per server, in comparison to rack-mounted servers
• Lower power consumption, in comparison to rack-mounted servers.
• Lower airflow requirements, in comparison to rack-mounted servers

The HP BladeSystem Power Sizer helps in sizing the power infrastructure needed for a HP BladeSystem solution. This sizer enables effective planning for the power consumption and heat load of the BladeSystem at its site.

The sizer enables you to:

• Select the type and number of components within each Blade Server and Blade Enclosure.
• View the effect of component changes on the power consumption and heat loading.
• Review server loading and determine power supply and power subsystem requirements.
• Approximate electrical and heat load for facilities planning purposes.

The sizing estimate is based on component level power measurements for a system stressed to maximum capability.

Values obtained from the BladeSystem Sizer tool are measured with all components stressed to 100% load and are intended for facilities planning purposes only. Actual power consumption varies with application type, application utilization, and ambient temperature.

The p-class BladeSystem and the c-Class BladeSystem solutions are supported in the BladeSystem Power Sizer.
