HP 414050-001 Mid-Plane Assembly Board For C7000 Enclosure

Product Description

The HP 414050-001 Mid-Plane Assembly Board is the backbone of the HP C7000 BladeSystem enclosure. This sophisticated board is installed within the chassis and acts as the primary interconnect for all installed components. It provides the essential pathways for power distribution from the enclosure's power supplies to the server blades, storage modules, and network switch modules. Furthermore, it facilitates high-speed data communication between these components, enabling seamless operation of the blade server environment. This mid-plane is designed to support the modular nature of the C7000 enclosure, allowing for the hot-plugging of server blades, storage units, and network interconnect modules. This means that components can be added, removed, or replaced without requiring the entire enclosure to be powered down, which is critical for maintaining continuous operation and serviceability in enterprise data centers. The board integrates various connectors and circuitry to manage these complex interactions. Beyond power and data, the 414050-001 also plays a role in the overall management of the C7000 enclosure. It interfaces with the Onboard Administrator module, enabling centralized monitoring, configuration, and control of all installed hardware. Its robust design and comprehensive connectivity make it an indispensable component for the functionality and performance of the HP C7000 BladeSystem.
