QLogic iSCSI Dual Port Adapter with Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem 488074-B22
NOTE: The Gigabit Ethernet adapters above transmit from the server only at 2000 Mbps, full duplex per port. For more information, see the "Network Controller" segment in the Standards Features section for more information.  
10 Gigabit Mezzanines  
NOTE: A 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter is required for each server blade connecting to a 10Gb interconnect in bays 3-8 (HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure) or bays 2-4 (HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure).
NOTE: Each 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter requires a minimum of 2GB of server memory.
NOTE: Each 10 Gigabit Either adapter supports linking at 1000Mbps or 10000Mbps when not connected to a Flex-10 enabled module and will link with all current 1Gb switches at 1Gb.
NOTE: The ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) feature allows for the configuring of a FlexFabric Adapter to any of the supported protocols. For example iSCSI to FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet). Note that a HP Virtual Connect profile takes precedence over the setting in this menu. Also, some FlexFabric Adapters may require that network boot be enabled in order to configure the protocol. If the protocol is configured without enabling network boot with certain FlexFabric Adapters, the protocol may not take effect. Once the protocol has taken effect on the first boot after configuring this option, network boot may be disabled if desired.

Memory Population Guidelines

For detailed memory configuration rules and guidelines, please use the Online DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool:
www.hp.com/go/ddr3memory-configurator

Some DIMM installation guidelines are summarized below:

  • For the HP ProLiant BL280c G6 server with twelve (12) memory slots:
    • There are three (3) channels per processor; six (6) channels per server
    • There are two (2) DIMM slots for each memory channel; twelve (12) total slots.
    • Memory channel 1 consists of the two (2) DIMMs that are closest to the processor
    • Memory channel 3 consists of the two (2) DIMMs that are furthest from the processor
  • DIMM slots that are white should be populated first
  • Do not mix Unbuffered memory (UDIMMs) with Registered memory (RDIMMs).
  • Do not install DIMMs if the corresponding processor is not installed
  • If only one processor is installed in a 2CPU system, only half of the DIMM slots are available
  • To maximize performance, balance the total memory capacity between all installed processors
  • It is not required, but it is recommended to load the channels similarly if possible
  • If any Quad rank DIMMs are installed, all channels are limited to only 2 DIMMs per channel
  • You can only install two quad-rank DIMMs per channel
  • You can only install two UDIMMs per channel; if available, the third slot in the channel must remain empty
  • Populate DIMMs from heaviest load (quad-rank) to lightest load (single-rank) within a channel
  • Heaviest load (DIMM with most ranks) within a channel goes furthest from the processor
  • For memory mirroring mode, channel 3 must be unpopulated. Channels 1 and 2 are populated identically
  • For lock-step mode, channel 3 must be unpopulated. DIMMs in channels 1 and 2 will be installed in pairs. The paired slots will be 1,4; 2,5; 3;6 on a 3DPC system or 1,3, 2, 4; on a 2DPC system
  • Low Voltage DIMMs can only be used with Intel Xeon 5600 series processors.
  • If mixing DIMM voltage is a requirement, please note that the DIMMs will run at 1.5V since all 1.35V are capable of supporting 1.5V operations

*Supported at 1333 via setting in ROM based setup utility (RBSU).
**2DPC: LV runs at 1066, Std voltage runs at 1333

NOTES:

  • PC3-10600 DIMMs have a maximum speed of 1333MHz. PC3-8500 DIMMs have a maximum speed of 10600MHz.
  • Mixing DIMM speeds is allowed, but the system processor speed rules always override the DIMM capabilities
  • If you do mix DIMM speeds, the memory bus will default to the minimum clock rate of all DIMMs in the system - even if the slower DIMM is on the other processor
  • If you install 1x 1066MHz DIMM in channel 1 and 1x 1333MHz DIMM in channel 2, you still run at 1066MHz
  • If you install 1x 1066MHz DIMM in channel 1 and 5x 1333MHz DIMMs with 1 DIMM Per Channel (DPC) in each of the other channels, you run at 1066MHz
  • If you install 3DPC in one channel (if applicable) and 1DPC in all other channels, you run at 800MHz
  • Maximum memory speed will also depend on processor installed.
  • References to the above MHz speeds are for the various speeds of DDR3 DIMMs; 1333 refers to DDR3-1333, etc.

System Inlet Temperature

Operating

10° to 35°C (50° to 95°F) at sea level with an altitude derating of 1.0°C per every 305 m (1.8°F per every 1000 ft) above sea level to a maximum of 3050 m (10,000 ft), no direct sustained sunlight. Maximum rate of change is 10°C/hr (18°F/hr). The upper limit may be limited by the type and number of options installed.

System performance may be reduced if operating with a fan fault or above 30°C (86°F).

Non-operating -30° to 60°C (-22° to 140°F). Maximum rate of change is 20°C/hr (36°F/hr).
Relative Humidity

Operating 10 to 85% relative humidity (Rh), 28°C (82.4°F) maximum wet bulb temperature, non-condensing.
Non-operating 5 to 95% relative humidity (Rh), 38.7°C (101.7°F) maximum wet bulb temperature, non-condensing.
Altitude Operating 3050 m (10,000 ft). This value may be limited by the type and number of options installed. Maximum allowable altitude change rate is 457 m/min (1500 ft/min).
