Converting HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosures between 3-phase and single-
phase power
HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosures are available as three different models, each of which is designed to work with a specific
power infrastructure, either single-phase or 3-phase based. Installed enclosures can, however, be successfully converted from
one power infrastructure to another by:
•
Replacing the Input Power Module, and
•
Reconfiguring the enclosure’s incoming power distribution.
Successfully converting an enclosure entails three basic steps:
•
Ensuring the correctness of the new power infrastructure prior to conversion
•
Replacing the existing Input Power Module with one appropriate to the new power infrastructure
•
Updating the enclosure’s Onboard Administrator to comply with the new Input Power Module
Ensuring Power Infrastructure
Before beginning a conversion, it is important to first make sure that the correct receptacle(s) and/or PDU infrastructure is
available for the converted enclosure. For more information on powering c-Class enclosures, please consult the HP BladeSystem
Site Planning Guide, available online at
