• Support for I/O Accelerator Mezzanine Options

Dynamic Power Capping enables you to limit the power consumption of the enclosure, by setting an enclosure Dynamic Power Cap within the Onboard Administrator. The enclosure Dynamic Power Cap will be shared amongst all of the installed devices and individual server caps will be changed to match the server load. This will optimize the performance of the servers while ensuring that the enclosure stays below the Dynamic Power Cap value.

Requires:

• Onboard Administrator V2.32 or later
• iLO V1.70 or later for each server
• iLO Advanced for BladeSystem for each server
• Latest ROM BIOS for each server

See: http://www.hp.com/go/powercapping for more information

HP ProLiant BL2x220c Server Blade

The BL2x220c Blade has a different I/O mapping for server I/O ports to expansion bays than existing half-height servers. The BL2x220c contains 2 server nodes that share a single half-height bay. Each server has 2x 1-Gbit Ethernet ports, so each half-height bay must therefore support 4 1Gbit Ethernet connections to the Interconnect bays. Full access to all embedded Ethernet ports therefore requires 64 Ethernet connections in the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure or 16 Ethernet connections in the HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure. Single server half-height devices, such as the HP ProLiant BL460c and HP ProLiant BL465c Server Blades, only require 32 connections (c7000) and 16 connections (c3000).

As each Ethernet Interconnect device only supports 16 downlinks to the servers it is necessary to dedicate additional bays to Ethernet. To gain access to all embedded Ethernet connections users must install 4 Ethernet Interconnects in Bays 1,2,3,4 for the c7000 enclosure and 2 Ethernet Interconnects in Bays 1 & 2 in the c3000 enclosure.

When installing a BL2x220c into an existing enclosure the following rules must be followed otherwise the Blade will not boot due to an e-keying error.

c7000 Enclosure

• Interconnect bays 1,2,3,4 are reserved for Ethernet
• Fibre Channel, InfiniBand or other Interconnects must be placed in bays 5 & 6 and 7 & 8
• Bays 5 & 6 must match the mezzanine type plugged into Server A
• Bays 7 & 8 must match the mezzanine type plugged into Server B

c3000 Enclosure

• Interconnect bays 1 & 2 are reserved for Ethernet
• Fibre Channel or other Interconnects must be placed in bays 3 & 4
• Bays 3 & 4 must have interconnects of the same type or be empty

Mixing BL2x220c and other Blades in the same enclosure

Mixing of BL2x220c and other Server Blades in the same enclosure is supported but not recommended. The unique I/O mapping used by the BL2x220c requires that the I/O requirements of other blades in the enclosure conform to the rules defined for the BL2x220c.

c7000 Enclosure Notes:

• Embedded NIC Port 1 from each server (Server A and Server B) is mapped to Interconnect bays 1 and 2 which support only Ethernet devices
• Embedded NIC Port 2 from each server (Server A and Server B) is mapped to Interconnect bays 3 & 4 which support only Ethernet devices in configurations using the BL2x220
• The BL2x220 mezzanine slots connect to interconnect devices in Interconnect Bays 5 & 6 or 7 & 8

c3000 Enclosure Notes:

• Embedded NIC Port 1 from each server (Server A and Server B) can be accessed with an Ethernet interconnect in Interconnect bay 1
• Embedded NIC Port 2 from each server (Server A and Server B) is mapped to interconnect bay 2
• The BL2x220 mezzanine slots connect to interconnect devices in Interconnect Bays 3 & 4. The fabric type for the mezzanine slots and their interconnects must all be the same for c3000 configurations with the BL2x220.
