Product Description

The HP 396226-405 is a ProLiant BL20p G3 SCSI CTO (Configure-To-Order) Blade Server. This unit is designed to be installed within an HP BladeSystem enclosure, offering a modular approach to server infrastructure. As a CTO model, it is provided as a base configuration, requiring the addition of specific components to become fully operational. Notably, this particular SKU is configured with no CPU, 0MB of RAM, and no Hard Disk Drive (HDD), making it a bare-bones chassis for customization. Despite its minimal initial configuration, the BL20p G3 blade includes essential networking and management capabilities. It features two integrated NC7781 Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NICs) for robust network connectivity and an Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) management processor, which provides remote server management capabilities essential for blade environments. The SCSI interface indicates its intended use with SCSI storage solutions. This blade server is intended for IT professionals who need to build highly customized server solutions within a BladeSystem. It allows for precise control over component selection, ensuring that the final server configuration perfectly matches the demands of specific applications, such as high-density computing, virtualization, or specialized application hosting. The modular nature of blade servers, combined with the CTO flexibility, offers significant advantages in terms of power efficiency, cooling, and rack space utilization.
