The Storage Connectivity Kit (option) is required for Fibre Channel signal pass-through when using the
CGESM or a GbE2 Interconnect Switch Kit. Both Ethernet cable consolidation and Fibre Channel
connectivity is possible using a single interconnect option. Order one Storage Connectivity Kit per server
blade enclosure for Fibre Channel pass through of HP ProLiant BL20p and HP ProLiant BL30p server
blades series.
The 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 HP ProLiant
BL30p Dual-Port Fibre Channel Adapter (option) and each HP ProLiant BL20p Dual Port Fibre Channel
Adapter. The Storage Connectivity Kit supports up to eight HP ProLiant BL20p server blade series, up to
sixteen HP ProLiant BL30p server blades series or combinations thereof.

switches)
6U (10.5-inch), plugs into HP BladeSystem p-Class 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.
