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
enclosure unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
1. Remove the device bay blank.
