html#bl. Enclosures and hardware components An HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure holds ProLiant and Integrity server blades, storage blades, I/O option blades, interconnect modules (switches, pass-thru modules, and Virtual Connect modules), a NonStop passive signal midplane, a passive power backplane - HP Integrity NonStop NB50000c | HP BladeSystem c-Class architecture - Page 3

Figure 3. BladeSystem c-Class form factors scale vertically with half-height and full-height . Or, adjacent single-wide full-height blades can be used together. For example, HP Integrity server blades can combine multiple blades to create 2, 4, or 8 socket systems, as shown in Figure 4.

6b NonStop signal midplane provides flexibility The BladeSystem c-Class uses a high-speed, NonStop signal midplane that supports multiple By logically overlaying the traces, our HP engineers avoided replicating traces on the NonStop signal midplane to support each type of fabric, and they avoided - HP Integrity NonStop NB50000c | HP BladeSystem c-Class architecture - Page 9
use mezzanine cards to connect to various network fabrics. The mezzanine cards on the server blades connect to the interconnect modules through independent traces on the NonStop signal midplane. Connections differ depending on the enclosure. The c7000 enclosure was designed for fully redundant - HP Integrity NonStop NB50000c | HP BladeSystem c-Class architecture - Page 10
can develop components in the blade form factor and connect them across the NonStop signal midplane-front-to-back or side-to-side. The architecture supports front-to-back modularity by connecting mezzanine cards in the server blades at the front of the enclosure to the matching interconnect modules - HP Integrity NonStop NB50000c | HP BladeSystem c-Class architecture - Page 11

BladeSystem c-Class enclosure could be a single point of failure, since it is not replicated. We designed the midplane to mitigate that risk (as described in the "NonStop signal midplane scalability" section).
