Overview
This user guide provides installation and reference information for the Compaq ProLiant™
BL p-Class C-GbE Interconnect Kit and the ProLiant BL p-Class F-GbE Interconnect Kit.
ProLiant BL p-Class C-GbE Interconnect Kit
The ProLiant BL p-Class C-GbE Interconnect Kit contains two GbE Interconnect Switches
and two QuadT Interconnect Modules. The ProLiant BL p-Class GbE Interconnect Switch
uses 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T Gigabit Layer 2 switching technology to provide up
to a 32-to-1 reduction in the number of networking cables per BL p-Class server enclosure.
Each GbE Interconnect Switch and QuadT Interconnect Module reduces
sixteen 10Base-T/100Base-TX server networking ports to one or two RJ-45
100Base-TX/1000Base-T and one or two RJ-45 10Base-T/100Base-TX uplink ports.
