NOTE:
HP BladeSystem p-Class enhanced server blade enclosures are required to support HP ProLiant
BL30p server blades. See compatibility matrix:

.
NOTE:
NOTE: NOTE:
NOTE:
Server Blade Enclosure Upgrade Kit (354100-B21) contains enhanced backplane components
and enables a field upgrade of a blade enclosure to support HP ProLiant BL30p server blades series and
provide a single, physical iLO port for the enclosure.
Two (2) outside bays for interconnects (Patch Panel, Patch Panel 2, GbE Interconnect Switch, GbE2, or
CGESM Interconnect Switch)
Server blade management module on the rear of the server blade enclosure is hot-plug, has a
centralized 10/100T iLO port for all installed blades, reports events of all installed blades and provides
asset and inventory information via SNMP.

(A pair of switches per kit)
(Each HP BladeSystem p-
Class server blade
enclosure requires a pair
of interconnects - patch
panels or interconnect
switches)
Interconnect Switch interconnects consolidate the Ethernet signals from the server blades to a smaller set
of external copper-based or fiber-based uplink ports for connection to the network infrastructure. Like the
Patch Panel interconnects, an option is also available to pass through individual HP ProLiant BL20p G2
and HP ProLiant BL30p Fibre Channel signals. The interconnect switches provide up to a 32-to-1 server
network cable reduction per server enclosure depending on the mix of HP ProLiant BL20p server blade
series, HP ProLiant BL30p server blade series, and HP ProLiant BL40p server blades series. Each
interconnect switch pair reduces up to sixteen internal server network (NIC) ports to one to six external
ports (four on a modular rear mounting interconnect and two on the switch front panel). This provides a
total of twelve external ports per server blade enclosure.
The Cisco GESM and GbE2 Interconnect Kits (C-GbE2 and F-GbE2) are for applications that require
network adapter consolidation to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and HP ProLiant BL30p Fibre Channel
pass-through.
