Fibre Channel signals travel from a HP ProLiant BL25p server blade with a

Dual-Port Fibre Channel Adapter through p-Class server blade enclosure

backplane. The Fibre Channel signals are terminated through the RJ-45

Patch Panel 2 in the interconnect bays. To provide redundancy each server

blade has two Fibre Channel signals and one Fibre Channel signal

terminates through the right RJ-45 Patch Panel 2, one Fibre Channel signal

travels terminates through the left RJ-45 Patch Panel 2.

8 Fibre Channel small form factor pluggable (SPF) transceiver slots on the

front of each RJ-45 patch panel 2 (16 Fibre Channel connections per server

blade enclosure); for insertion of SPF transceivers included with the BL20p

G3 Dual-port Fibre Channel Adapter.
