BladeCenter documents that came with your BladeCenter unit.
4. Remove the filler module from the selected bay. Store the filler module for
future use.
5. If you have not already done so, touch the static-protective package that
contains the Gigabit Ethernet switch module to any unpainted metal

9. Push the release latch on the front of the Gigabit Ethernet switch module
to the closed position. After you insert and lock the Gigabit Ethernet
switch module, it is turned on, and the power-on self-test (POST) runs to
verify that the Gigabit Ethernet switch module is operating correctly. The
POST results are displayed by the status LEDs.
10. Make sure that the LEDs on the Gigabit Ethernet switch module indicate
that it is operating correctly. Make sure that the OK LED on each Gigabit
Ethernet switch module is lit. See “LEDs” on page 11 for a description of
the operation of these LEDs.
