# Prerequisites for bringing a c7000 enclosure into HPE OneView

Item | Requirement
--- | ---
Enclosure model | The enclosure must be a supported model listed in the HPE OneView Support Matrix. The enclosure is powered on.
Server hardware | The server hardware seated in an enclosure must meet the prerequisites listed in Prerequisites for bringing server hardware into an appliance.
Firmware | The enclosure firmware must be at least the minimum supported firmware version listed in the HPE OneView Support Matrix.
Licenses | An HPE OneView license is required to manage servers. See About licensing.
Onboard Administrator | The primary and standby OA must be configured with a host name or IP address and must be reachable by HPE OneView. As part of bringing an OA under management, a local user account is added, so the OA must be configured to allow for local user accounts. If the enclosure has two Onboard Administrators, both OAs must be at the same firmware version.
IP addresses | IPv4 or IPv6 configuration is required.
iLO IP address | Server hardware iLOs must be configured with IP addresses, automatically with DHCP addresses or manually with Enclosure Bay IP Addressing (EBIPA)-specified addresses. HPE OneView must be able to connect to the server hardware iLOs.
Interconnects | Interconnects must be configured with: IP addresses, automatically with DHCP addresses, or manually with EBIPA-specified addresses. If you have an HPE Virtual Connect Fibre Channel interconnect, see Update the firmware for HPE Virtual Connect interconnects configured for Fibre Channel networks to determine if you need to update the firmware. If you have an HPE Virtual Connect FlexFabric–20/40 F8 interconnect, see About the Virtual Connect FlexFabric–20/40 F8 interconnect module for the maximum number of modules recommended per enclosure.
Open ports | The following ports must be opened between HPE OneView and the enclosure: TCP 80, 443 UDP 123, 161, 162 See Ports required for HPE OneView for the complete list of open port requirements.
