An HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure accommodates server blades, storage blades, I/O option blades, interconnect modules (switches and pass-thru modules), a NonStop passive signal midplane, a passive power backplane, power supplies, fans, and Onboard Administrator modules. The BladeSystem c-Class employs multiple signal paths and redundant hot-pluggable components to provide maximum uptime for components in the enclosure. Component overview This section discusses the components that comprise the BladeSystem c-Class. It does not discuss details about all the particular products that HP has announced or plans to announce. For product implementation details, the reader should refer to the HP BladeSystem website: www.hp.com/go/bladesystem. The HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosure announced in June 2006 was the first enclosure implemented using the BladeSystem c-Class architecture. The BladeSystem c7000 10U enclosure (Figure 1) is optimized for enterprise data centers. A single c7000 enclosure can hold up to 16 server, storage, or I/O option blades. Figure 1.
