Connecting to the network
To connect the HP BladeSystem to a network, each enclosure must
be configured with network interconnect devices to manage signals
between the server blades and the external network.
Two types of interconnect modules are available for HP BladeSystem
c-Class enclosures: Pass-thru modules and switch modules. For more
information about interconnect module options, see the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/interconnects
).
Installing a server blade
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal
damage, do not operate the server blade or the
enclosure unless all hard drive and device bays are
populated with either a component or a blank.
1. Remove the device bay blank.
2. Remove the enclosure connector cover.
3. Prepare the server blade for installation.
