Device bay port mapping table for c7000 Enclosure

If a device is not present, the checkbox is disabled and the port cannot be viewed.

The server blades are mapped to the interconnect bays in the following manner. The terms 1x/2x or 4x refer to the
number of interconnect lanes per port provided by the controller. The more lanes provided per port, the higher the
data transmission rate coming from that port.

The following table lists the available configurations for ProLiant BL2x220c G7 devices installed in c7000 device
bay N (1-8).
Connection Port Number Connects to interconnect bay/port

Server B NC543i* Port 1 7/Port N

*The ProLiant BL2x220c G7 Server embedded NC543i is automatically configured by the Onboard Administrator to Ethernet, if
Ethernet interconnect modules are installed in bays 5 and 6, or to IB if a double-wide IB interconnect is installed in bay 5. To change
the NC543i configuration from one type to another, power off all the ProLiant BL2x220c G7 Servers, and replace the interconnect
module with the other type. Reboot the active Onboard Administrator or reseat all the ProLiant BL2x220c G7 Servers and the
Onboard Administrator reconfigures all the embedded NC543i for the new interconnect type.

Device bay port mapping graphical view for c7000 Enclosure

Half-height server blade

In this diagram, N equals the number of the server blade in the enclosure and the port number on the switch. For
example, if a server blade is inserted into slot 1, it is considered device 1, and the ports that will be used in switch 1
and switch 2 are ports 1 and 1, respectively. If a server blade is inserted into slot 2, then the ports used on switch 1
and switch 2 are ports 2 and 2. This convention changes for the full-height server blades as seen in the next
diagram.
Full-height server blade

In this diagram, N equals the number of the blade in the enclosure and the port number for the switch. For example,
if a blade is inserted into slot 1, it is considered device 1. Because full-height server blades take up the space of two
half-height server blades, the enclosure is limited to a maximum of eight full-height server blades. Port mapping
from these full-height server blades might initially appear to be different than the half-height server blades, but
they use very similar conventions.

Just as in a half-height server blade, if a blade is inserted into slot 1, it is considered device 1, but it has a second
set of ports that will also map to switches 1 and 2. With the full-height server blade, an N/N+8 scheme is used on
the switches. Therefore, server blade 1 will map to ports 1 and 9 on both switches, as N=1. For a server blade
inserted into slot 2, the four ports used on switches 1 and 2 would then be 2 and 10, as N=2.
