A.3 InfiniBand Interconnect With Mixed Height Server Blades
The configuration shown in Figure A-3 is similar to the configuration shown in Figure A-1
(page 43). The only exception is that in this configuration, the half-height server blades require
external connections as well. Because half-height blades have two NICs, you must use NIC2 for
the connection to the external network. This also means that an interconnect module is required
in bay 2.
On the non-blade server nodes, the built-in NICs are used for the external network connection.
Available ports vary based on hardware model. See the HP XC Hardware Preparation Guide for
more information about port assignments.
