Storage Connectivity Kit
Option
(supports a pair of GbE2
switches)
The GbE2 Storage Connectivity Kit (option) is required for Fibre Channel signal pass-through when using a GbE2
Interconnect Switch Kit. Both Ethernet cable consolidation and Fibre Channel connectivity is possible using a single
interconnect option. Order one GbE2 Storage Connectivity Kit per server blade enclosure for Fibre Channel pass
through of BL20p and BL30p series blades.
The GbE2 Storage Connectivity Kit includes two OctalFC Interconnect Modules that provide sixteen open transceiver
cages for the pluggable small form factor transceivers that come with each BL30p Dual-Port Fibre Channel Adapter
(option) and each BL20p Dual Port Fibre Channel Adapter. The GbE2 Storage Connectivity Kit supports up to eight
BL20p series, up to sixteen BL30p series blades or combinations thereof.

6U (10.5-inch), plugs into BL p-Class 6U server blade enclosures.
Passes through Ethernet NIC signals, from all installed server blades, individually out as RJ-45 connections.
Supports Gigabit Ethernet network adapters.
16 RJ-45 connectors on the back of each RJ-45 Patch Panel (32 RJ-45 connections per server blade enclosure).
The benefits to the RJ-45 Patch Panel are that it:
- Allows the customer to connect signals to their own LAN infrastructure components.
- Provides very economical option enabling the lowest cost blade solution.
- Is completely passive and requires no software or management.
- Allows the customer to connect signals to their own LAN infrastructure components.
- Provides very economical option enabling the lowest cost blade solution.
- Is completely passive and requires no software or management.

Channel pass through
Channel pass through
Fibre Channel signals travel from a ProLiant BL20p series and/or BL30p series blades through the server blade
enclosure backplane. Fibre Channel signals are terminated through the RJ-45 Patch Panel 2 or GbE2 Interconnect
Switch (with GbE2 Storage Connectivity Kit) in the interconnect bays. To provide redundancy each server blade has
two Fibre Channel signals; one Fibre Channel signal terminates through the right interconnect, the other Fibre
Channel signal terminates through the left interconnect.

Eight Fibre Channel small form factor pluggable (SPF) transceiver cages exist on the front of each RJ-45 Patch Panel
2 and rear of each GbE2 Interconnect Switch (16 Fibre Channel connections per server blade enclosure). The SPF
cages are used for insertion of SPF transceivers included with the BL20p G2 Dual-port Fibre Channel Mezzanine
Card and the BL30p Dual-Port Fibre Channel Adapter.
