3 Hardware supported with the blade workstations
This chapter lists the hardware that is supported with the blade workstation, including hardware external and
internal to the blade workstation.
3-1 Enclosures, storage blades and interconnect modules
Support of the following hardware components on the two blade workstations is independent of the operating
system installed on the blade workstations.

NOTES:
1.
The two built-in network interfaces, NIC1 and NIC2, on
the blade workstation are pre-set to operate at 1 Gb/s,
and cannot be set to other data rates. Therefore, the HP
BL c-Class Ethernet Pass Through Module requires
connection to a 1 Gb/s network, and does not support
connection to 10/100 Mb/s networks.
