The HP ProLiant BL p-Class F-GbE2 Interconnect Kit contains two HP ProLiant BL p-Class GbE2 Interconnect Switches and two QuadSX Interconnect Modules.
The HP ProLiant BL p-Class GbE2 Interconnect Switches and QuadSX Interconnect Modules use 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX Gigabit Layer 2 switching technology to provide between 32-to-1 (blocking) to 32-to-12 (blocking) reduction in the number of networking cables per BL p-Class server blade enclosure.
Each HP ProLiant BL p-Class GbE2 Interconnect Switch and QuadSX Interconnect Module reduces sixteen 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T server networking ports to one to four LC 1000Base-SX ports (located on the removable interconnect module) and one to two RJ-45 10Base-T/100Base-X/1000Base-T ports (located on the front of the HP ProLiant BL p-Class GbE2 Interconnect Switch).
