HP BladeSystem c-Class Overview
HP BladeSystem c-Class A HP BladeSystem solutions start with an either a c7000 or c3000 enclosure. For the c3000 enclosure,
c3000 Enclosure key enclosure components include hot-plug power supplies, hot-plug HP Active Cool 100 Fans, and an
optional redundant BladeSystem Onboard Administrator module. Once the enclosure and its key
components have been selected, the following components can be added: interconnect modules, HP
ProLiant and Integrity server blades, expansion blades, and optional HP Insight Control for
BladeSystem management software. For information on these options please visit:
http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem.
NOTE: HP BladeSystem c3000 and c7000 Enclosures support G1 through Gen9 ProLiant and Integrity
server blades, subject to support requirements of the Onboard Administrator. Certain HP ProLiant
server blades and options may require a specific version of the Onboard Administrator firmware. This
firmware release may also require other subsystem firmware upgrades. For further information,
please see the HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) website and the HP Support Center document “HP
ProLiant Server Blades - Compatibility with HP BladeSystem c7000 and c3000 Enclosures and
Firmware”.
A BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure holds up to 8 server blades and up to 4 expansion blades (not
exceeding 8 total blades) plus redundant network and storage interconnects. It includes a shared,
multi-terabit high-speed midplane for wire-once connectivity of server blades to network and shared
storage. Power is delivered through a pooled power backplane that ensures the full capacity of the
power supplies is available to all blades.
Each c3000 enclosure is built with the following functions:
Up to 8 half-height server blades, 4 full-height server blades, and/or 4 expansion blades per
enclosure (not exceeding 8 total blades).
NOTE: For information on mixing half-height server blades, full-height server blades, and
expansion blades, please see the section titled "Server Blade, Expansion Blade, and Fan
Population Guidelines" later in this document.
Up to 2 redundant I/O interconnect fabrics (Ethernet, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, SAS, etc.) supported
simultaneously within the enclosure.
A single-phase power subsystem for flexibility in connecting to datacenter power, UPSs, or
low-line (100VAC to 110VAC) wall outlets.
NOTE: Caution: when connecting directly to wall outlets, customers should determine the
maximum amperage of the wall outlet circuit to prevent power overload.
Choice of AC or DC power supplies.
PARSEC enclosure design - Parallel, redundant and scalable cooling and airflow design.
Up to six (6) hot-plug HP Active Cool 100 Fans.
Redundant hot-plug cooling, redundant hot-plug power supplies, redundant connections,
redundant interconnect modules, and optional redundant BladeSystem Onboard
Administrator management module.
An Onboard Administrator management module is built in to the enclosure with the following
functions:
Robust, multiple enclosure setup and control.
Reports asset and inventory information for the devices in the enclosure.
Reports thermal and power information, including real-time actual power usage per server
and per enclosure.
Front-mounted Insight Display for easy management at the deployment site.
Integrated access to all server blade iLOs from a single cable.
Provides integrated access to interconnect bay device management ports from the single
Onboard Administrator cable.

QuickSpecs HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure
HP BladeSystem c-Class Overview
Single sign-on capability for all devices in the enclosure.
Role-based security locally and/or with LDAP directory services.
Provides a wizard-based initial setup process for easy configuration.
An optional DVD drive for local software deployment, and HP SmartStart deployment
An optional local KVM interface for connection to KVM switches.
A BladeSystem c3000 enclosure provides the following benefits:
With local and remote hardware management integrated across the solution, one full
enclosure can be managed as easily as one server.
Management and network interconnects extend scalability beyond a single enclosure,
allowing resources to be pooled and shared across multiple enclosures.
Accommodates multiple server and network designs in one enclosure.
Lower costs per server in comparison to rack-mounted servers
Lower power consumption in comparison to rack-mounted servers.
Reduced and simplified cabling in comparison to rack-mounted servers.
Investment protection supporting G1 through Gen9 server blades.
HP ProLiant & Integrity Delivering best-in-class performance, choice and reliability on AMD Opteron™, Intel® Xeon® and Intel®
Server Blades Itanium® processors for Windows, Linux, Solaris, OpenVMS, or HP-UX based servers; the HP portfolio of
server blades supports a variety of application requirements for scale-out architectures. HP offers
one-, two-, four- and eight -processor server blades, with the widest range of performance, and form
factors. For information please visit: http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem.
HP D2200sb Storage Direct attached storage
Blade The D2220sb Storage Blade delivers direct attached storage for c-Class Gen8 and greater server
blades, with support for up to twelve hot plug small form factor (SFF) SAS or SATA Midline hard disk
drives or SAS/SATA SSDs. The enclosure backplane provides a PCI Express connection to an adjacent c-
Class server blade and enables high performance storage access without any additional cables. The
D2220sb Storage Blade features an onboard Smart Array P420i controller with 2GB flash-backed write
cache, for increased performance and data protection. Up to four D2220sb storage devices can be
supported in a single BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure for up to 57.6 TB of capacity.
Two ways to create shared storage with the D2220sb
Use HP StoreVirtual VSA software to turn the D2220sb into an iSCSI SAN for use by all servers in the
enclosure and any server on the network. HP VSA software is installed in a virtual machine on a VMware
ESX host server adjacent to the D2220sb. HP StoreVirtual VSA turns the D2220sb into a scalable and
robust iSCSI SAN, featuring storage clustering for scalability, network RAID for storage failover, thin
provisioning, snapshots, remote replication, and cloning. Expand capacity within the same enclosure or
to other BladeSystem enclosures by adding additional D2220sb Storage Blades and HP VSA licenses. A
cost effective bundle of the D2220sb Storage Blade and a HP StoreVirtual VSA license makes
purchasing convenient. If storage needs increase, add HP P4300 or P4500 systems externally and
manage everything via a single pane of glass.
The HP StoreEasy 3830 and 3840 Gateway Storage Blades are flexible storage server solutions for
BladeSystem environments. Combine the StoreEasy 3830 or 3840 with the D2220sb Storage Blade to
enable file serving and iSCSI shared storage inside the BladeSystem enclosure.
NOTE: The D2220sb requires a c3000 enclosure configuration with 6 fans

to 4 half-height server blades. Additionally, zone 2 supports a mix of 1 full-height, single-wide server blade and up to 2 half-
height server blades. A mixture of blades sizes is not supported in zone 1.
An overview of the mixed server blade population rule best practices are summarized below. For detailed expansion blade rules
and guidelines, please see the documentation that ships with the enclosure and server blade.
1. One full-height, single-wide server and up two half-height servers may be mixed in zone 2 (the upper zone); mixing is not
allowed in zone 1 (the lower zone).
2. The full-height, single wide server must be installed in the lower bays 3 and 7 and half-height server(s) directly above in
bays 4 and 8.
3. Half-height server blades should be installed in the order of bays 4 then 8.
4. Before installing any full-height server blades, remove the bay divider that is used to support half-height devices.
5. A mini-divider is installed between bays 4 and 8. A mini-divider is shipped with each c3000 enclosure.
NOTE: Please read the RTF card (included with each c3000 enclosure) and the "HP BladeSystem c3000 Setup and Installation
Guide" for more information on the use, installation, and removal of bay dividers and the mini-divider for mixed configurations.
NOTE: Expansion blades can be installed in zone 2 along with both full-height, single-wide and half-height blades. For more
information, please see the "Expansion blades" section later in this document.
Expansion blades
Expansion blades consist of storage blades, tape blades, and the PCI Expansion Blade. Up to 4 expansion blades are supported per
HP BladeSystem c-Class c3000 Enclosure. Expansion blades may be installed in the same zone as half-height and full-height,
single-wide server blades. Expansion blades are not supported with full-height, double-wide server blades. An expansion blade is
installed directly above a server blade, also known as a partner server blade. An overview of the expansion blade population rule
best practices are summarized below. For detailed expansion blade rules and guidelines, please see the documentation that ships
with the enclosure and expansion blade.
Expansion blade population best practices for half-height server blades:
1. One half-height partner server blade supports one expansion blade.
2. Identify the partner server blade to be installed with the expansion blade. The two blades always occupy a pair of slots as
follows: 1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6, and 7 & 8.
3. Each c3000 zone contains a removable divider (also known as a device bay shelf) that is used to support half-height
devices. This divider is remains installed whether the half-height devices are server or expansion blades.
Expansion blade population best practices for full-height, single-wide server blades:
1. A full-height, single-wide server blade may be mixed with half-height expansion blades in zone 2 (the upper zone) of the
c3000 enclosure; mixing is not allowed in zone 1 (the lower zone).
2. The full-height, single-wide partner server blade must be installed in the lower bays 3 and 7 and half-height devices
directly above in bays 4 and 8.
3. The full-height, single-wide server partner blade supports one or two expansion blades in bays 4 and 8.
4. Before installing any full-height, single-wide server blades, remove the bay divider that is used to support half-height
devices.
5. A mini-divider is installed between bays 4 and 8. A mini-divider is shipped with each c3000 enclosure.
6. If installing only one expansion blade, install the expansion blade in bay 8. The remaining half-height bay (bay 4) may be
populated with either a half-height device bay blank of a half-height server blade; the half-height server blade may not
be partnered with the expansion blade.
7. If installing two expansion blades, the expansion blades may be two storage blades, two tape blades, two PCI Expansion
Blades, or a mixture of any two.
8. Expansion blades are not supported with full-height, double-wide server blades.
NOTE: Please read the RTF card (included with each c3000 enclosure) and the "HP BladeSystem c3000 Setup and Installation
Guide" for more information on using bay dividers and the mini-divider for mixed configurations.
