Why c-Class Blades
• High cost of IT infrastructure
• Cost of acquisition vs. cost of ownership
• Inflexible IT infrastructure
• Speed in introducing IT change
• Space savings – more compute power in a smaller footprint compared to equivalent number of processors in racked servers
• Cable management and fewer cables to connect servers to LAN/SAN

Why c-Class Blades (cont)
• Power/cooling efficiencies – Reduce Cost!
• Ease of management – more consistency across OS/architecture
• Flexibility – easy to change
• Fewer spare parts
• All of the above translate into lower cost of acquisition and cost of ownership compared to discrete servers

Virtual Connect
• Network and Fibre Channel SWMs plus Virtual Connect Manager (VCM)− VCM runs on Network SWM in bay 1 or bay 2 (at least one
Network VC switch is required for VC support)
− With 2 network switches you get redundant network paths and VCM failover—highly recommended
− Create VCM domain that describes your VC environment• Blade profiles
• Networks
• SANs
• Virtual Connect provides a “wire once” infrastructure
• VCM adds no overhead to Network and FC transfers!

Configuring the c-Class Blade System
• Questions−Mixed Integrity and Proliant Server Blades?
−Storage Blades?
− Redundant Network connections?
− Redundant FC connections?
− Redundant airflow?
− Redundant power?
−Virtual Connect?

Adding c-Class Blades
• General rule is left to right installation
• Half-height Blades can be stacked, as well as half-height Blades on top of Storage Blades
• There is no requirement that empty slots are to be avoided
• Blades can be added or removed without powering off anything
• Remember, all server slots are routed to each interconnect slot
• Mezzanine cards must be configured based on Interconnect module requirements

Adding Interconnect Modules
• Network modules must be placed in Bay 1 and/or Bay 2−Both for redundancy
− For VC, both for VCM failover
• Bays 3-8 depend on mezzanine cards−Bays 3 and 4 relate to mezz slot 1
−Bays 5 and 6 (7 and 8) to mezz slot 2
−Bays 7 and 8 (5 and 6) to mezz slot 3

c-Class Power and Airflow
• Power Supplies−Minimum Slot 1 and Slot 4−4 to 6 supplies provide redundancy—select AC or DC
• Fans−Minimum of 4 Fans—2 left and 2 right−8-10 for redundancy (middle empty with 8)
• Install everything and turn on standby power, the OA will go through its startup script−OA will ask for power redundancy scheme− If the fan quantity and/or power supply number is
inadequate the OA will let you know

Check Firmware
• Update OA first
• Interconnect Modules
• Server Blade−Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
−Management Processor (MP)
−System Firmware (SFW)
− Integrated IO (FRU EEPROMs for example)
−Mezzanine Cards
• Storage Blades
