Item 1 2 3 4 5 6 Connector Description OA/iLO Ethernet 1000BaseT RJ45 connector, which provides Ethernet access to the Onboard Administrator and the iLO on each blade. Also supports interconnect modules with management processors configured to use the enclosure management network. Autonegotiates 1000/100/10 or can be configured to force 100Mb or 10Mb full duplex. USB USB 2.0 Type A connector used for connecting supported USB devices such as DVD drives, USB key drives, or a keyboard or mouse for enclosure KVM use. To connect multiple devices, a USB hub (not included) is required. Serial connector Serial RS232 DB-9 connector with PC standard pinout. Connect a computer with a null-modem serial cable to the Onboard Administrator command line interface (CLI). VGA connector VGA DB-15 connector with PC standard pinout. To access the KVM menu or Onboard Administrator CLI, connect a VGA monitor or rack KVM monitor for enclosure KVM. Enclosure linkdown port Connects to the enclosure link-up port on the enclosure below with a CAT5 patch cable. Enclosure link-up Connects to the enclosure link-down port on the enclosure above with a CAT5 port and service patch cable. On a stand-alone enclosure or the top enclosure in a series of linked port enclosures, the top enclosure link-up port functions as a service port. Enclosure link cabling Two enclosure link ports are provided on the rear of the enclosure. Link multiple enclosures installed in one rack to: • Allow any active Onboard Administrator module to access the linked enclosures. • Use the enclosure link-up port on the top enclosure for temporary connection to a PC using the enclosure service port ("Cabling a PC to the enclosure service port" on page 58) to provide quick access to any Onboard Administrator module, iLO 2, or interconnect module with Ethernet management ability. • Allow enclosure settings to be shared between enclosures, which simplifies deployment of multiple enclosures. NOTE: The enclosure link ports are designed only to support c-Class enclosures in the same rack. The enclosure link-up port on the top enclosure is the service port, and the enclosure linkdown port on the bottom linked enclosure is unused. NOTE: If more c-Class enclosures are added to the rack at a later time, the open enclosure link-up port on the top enclosure can be used to link the new enclosure. NOTE: The HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure link ports are not compatible with the HP BladeSystem p-Class enclosure link ports. Cabling and powering up the enclosure 57

) to provide quick
access to any Onboard Administrator module, iLO 2, or interconnect module with Ethernet
management ability.
•
Allow enclosure settings to be shared between enclosures, which simplifies deployment of multiple
enclosures.
NOTE:
The enclosure link ports are designed only to support c-Class enclosures in the same
rack. The enclosure link-up port on the top enclosure is the service port, and the enclosure link-
down port on the bottom linked enclosure is unused.
NOTE:
If more c-Class enclosures are added to the rack at a later time, the open enclosure
link-up port on the top enclosure can be used to link the new enclosure.
