D. Determine power and cooling configurations
Validate power and cooling requirements based on location and installed
components.
E. Plan device and interconnect mappings
• Onboard Administrator to iLO port mappings
The blade iLO ports and interconnect module ports can obtain IP addresses
on the management network in three ways: a DHCP server, static IP address
assignment, or enclosure bay IP addressing (EBIPA).
For more information, see the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User
Guide on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation
).
• Interconnect bay to mezzanine slot mappings
Blade mezzanine slots correspond to specific interconnect bays. Plan
mezzanine-to-interconnect mapping before installing interconnect modules
and blade mezzanine options.
For more information, see the appropriate HP BladeSystem enclosure setup
and installation guide on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation
).
• Interconnect bay to physical cable mappings
Determine and acquire the appropriate number of cables, cable types, and
lengths for the interconnect devices being installed.
For more information, see the documentation that ships with the interconnect
devices.
