General Configuration Guidelines
The following are general guidelines for configuring HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosures:
• Up to four enclosures can be mounted in an HP 42U Infrastructure Rack.
• If an enclosure is not fully populated with fans and power supplies, see the positioning
guidelines in the HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosure documentation.
• Enclosures are cabled together using their uplink and downlink ports.
• The top uplink port in each rack is used as a service port to attach a laptop or other device
for initial configuration or subsequent debugging.
