NOTE: Each 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter requires a minimum of 2GB of server memory.
NOTE: A 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter supports linking at 1Gbps or 10Gbps when connected to an interconnect module with 10Gb Ethernet downlinks.
NOTE: A 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter supports linking at only 1Gbps when connected to an interconnect module with 1Gb Ethernet downlinks.
NOTE: The 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters on each server blade connect to a 10Gb interconnect in bays 3-8 (HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure) or bays 2-4 (HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure).
NOTE: The server supports one (1) FlexibleLOM that is installed in the FlexibleLOM connectors and is already included in the pre-configured models. However, it must be added in Step 2 for Configure-to-order Models. The FlexibleLOM options below are used to change these original FlexibleLOMs.
NOTE: The BL420c Gen8 supports one or two processors.
NOTE: The BL420c Gen8 includes two I/O mezzanine expansion slots. A processor must be installed in processor slot 1 for access to the first mezzanine expansion slot (expansion slot 1). A processor must be installed in processor slot 2 for access to the second mezzanine expansion slot (expansion slot 2).
NOTE: All processors within the server must be identical.
NOTE: the letter "L" preceding the model number indicates denotes lower wattage.
NOTE: The processor model as well as the memory configuration determines the maximum speed memory can operate. Please see the see the "Memory" section later in this document.
NOTE: The ProLiant BL420c Gen8 server includes the new HP hot-plug small form factor (SFF) SmartDrive carrier for enhanced management and reduced maintenance errors. HP drives from previous generation servers are not compatible with the BL420c Gen8 drive bays.
NOTE: The mixing of standard SAS drives with SAS SSD is supported within the server, but limits the RAID configuration to two separate RAID 0 volumes. Mixing of other drives types is not supported.
NOTE: HP hard drives have either a one year or three year warranty; refer to the specific hard drive QuickSpecs for details.
NOTE: The hard drive options are not required when configuring a drive-less model.
6G SATA Hot Plug with SmartDrive SFF (2.5-inch) Midline (MDL) Drives
HP 100GB 3G SATA MLC SFF (2.5-inch) SC Enterprise Mainstream Solid State Drive NOTE: The mixing of standard SAS drives with SAS SSD is supported within the server, but limits the RAID configuration to two separate RAID 0 volumes. Mixing of other drives types is not supported. NOTE: HP Dynamic Smart Array B320i Controller requires a SAS license key for RAID 0 and 1 functionality for SAS drives when selecting a Configure-to-Order server. The SAS RAID license comes standard with preconfigured servers. SATA RAID 0/1 standard. NOTE: Please see the QuickSpecs for technical specifications and information at: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14038_div/14038_div.html.
NOTE: When an InfiniBand adapter is installed in mezzanine slot 1, only one port is active (regardless of operating mode). When installed in any other mezzanine slot, both ports are active.
HP FDR/EN InfiniBand 10/40Gb Dual Port 544M Adapter NOTE: The FDR InfiniBand adapter must be installed in mezzanine slot 1 for FDR mode and may be installed in any mezzanine slot if operated in any other mode.
HP BLc PCI Expansion Blade NOTE: The PCI Expansion Blade provides PCI card slots for an adjacent c-Class Server Blade. Order one PCI expansion Blade for each server blade needing standard PCI-X or PCIe expansion slots. NOTE: Ships with one pre-installed PCI-X connect board. Also includes one PCIe connect board which requires installation. NOTE: Please see the QuickSpecs for technical specifications and additional information at http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12753_div/12753_div.html
