Actual Configuration

[juanluismc]

Hi everyone: I'm new in this forum, and I have a question for anyone who could help me. Actually I have a c3000 Enclosure with 4 Blade BL460c G1, 2 Ethernet Pass-Trhu, 2 Fibre Channel Pass-Trhu, 4 Power Supplies and 4 Cool Fans. I'm Planning to add a new ProLiant BL460c G6 to the Enclosure and my questions is this one Does my actual fan and power supply configuration support the new blade? or Do I need to add 2 more fans and power supplies? Best Regards and THX's for helping me

Once you add that 5th blade, you'll need to add the 2 more fans. (A more complete explanation on page 26 of the c3000 Tech Brief -- http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01508406/c01508406.pdf ) Whether you need another power supply depends on whether (and how) you're doing redundant power. For instance, if you're using N+1 redundancy (with all power supplies connected to a single PDU), and using 220V, then you shouldn't need another power supply.
