HP BladeSystem c7000 - Mapping to interconnect ports

Installation 48
Mapping to interconnect ports
Several port types are referenced in the following tables.
• Examples of 1x ports are 1-Gb Ethernet (1 GbE) switch modules and Fibre Channel interconnect
modules.
• An example of a 2x port is a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interconnect module. (Reserved for future use.)
• Examples of 4x ports are 10-Gb Ethernet (10 GbE) interconnect modules.
• Gen8 servers have FlexibleLOM adapters that have the same port mapping as the previous generation
server blade Embedded NICs.
NOTE: 1x and 2x port mezzanine cards interface with single-wide interconnect modules. 4x
port mezzanine cards interface with double-wide interconnect modules.
The term "1x/2x" refers 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.
