Front and back of the BladeSystem c3000 enclosure (rack-model)
HP BladeSystem enclosures can accommodate half-height or full-height blades. Server blades may use
single-, double-, or quad-wide form factors.
Optional mezzanine cards on the server blades route network signals to the interconnect modules in
the rear of the enclosure. The connections between server blades and a network fabric can be fully
redundant. The c7000 enclosure has eight interconnect bays that can accommodate up to eight
single-wide interconnect modules such as Virtual Connect modules, Ethernet
or Fibre Channel
switches, or a combination of single-wide and double-wide interconnect modules, such as InfiniBand
switches. The c3000 enclosure has four interconnect bays that can hold four single-wide or one
double-wide and two single-wide interconnect modules.
A c-Class enclosure also holds one or two Onboard Administrator management modules. A second
Onboard Administrator module acts as a redundant controller in an active-standby mode. The Insight
Display panel on the front of the enclosure provides an easy way to access the Onboard
Administrator.
The c-Class enclosures use a flexible power architecture. The c7000 enclosure uses single-phase or
three-phase AC or DC power inputs. The c3000 enclosure uses single-phase (auto-sensing high-line or
low-line) power inputs; or you can connect the power supplies in a c3000 enclosure directly to low-
line (100VAC to 120VAC) wall outlets. You can configure power redundantly in either enclosure.

General-purpose flexible design
The BladeSystem c-Class supports many blade and interconnect device options. It can hold ProLiant
server blades using AMD or Intel x86 processors, ProLiant workstation blades, Integrity server blades,
StorageWorks storage blades, tape blades, and PCI-X or PCI Express (PCIe) expansion blades.
