A customer wants to add a second dual port Fiber Channel adapter to a BL460c Gen8 Server in
an HP BladeSystem?
A.
FC HBA in Mezzanine two with FC interconnects in slots seven and eight
B.
FC HBA in Mezzanine two with FC interconnects in slots three and four
C.
FC HBA in Mezzanine two with FC interconnects in slots five and seven
D.
FC HBA in Mezzanine two with FC interconnects in slots five and six
Explanation:
In typical HP lazy question style this answer is open to debate, as we do not know if they are using
a c7000 or c3000 chassis… In cases like this plum for whatever makes HP more money..! So
c7000 in this case…http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00810839/c00810839.pdf
All of HP c-Class FC HBA’s are Dual Ported and their signals can only route out of ports #1 and #2
– even when they are installed in a Mezz slot with 4 signal paths… There is NO WAY to alter this…
So, if we assume the question is aimed at a c7000 enclosure then:
A FC HBA installed in Mezzanine #2 would route signals to Interconnect Bays 5 & 6 on a c7000
enclosure.
However, if we assume the question is aimed at a c3000 enclosure then:
A FC HBA installed in Mezzanine #2 would route signals to Interconnect Bays 3 & 4 on a c3000
enclosure.
