Table 4 shows the preferred half-height blade and SB40c locations in the c3000 enclosure. The server

blade and the corresponding SB40c must be in adjacent enclosure slots. For example the server blade

is directly connected to the A-SB40c.

Configure storage inside the enclosure using excess capacity

from local server blade drives

This configuration provides support for both full-height blades and half-height blades. The local, internal

blade hard drives are used for all storage for this configuration.

To add the VSA solution to an existing server blade with ESX Server:

1. If an enclosure blank is in the corresponding, adjacent enclosure slot, remove it. If installing a

full-height server blade you may need to remove the half-height blade shelf.

2. Insert the HP server blade into the desired c-Class enclosure slot.

3. Log in to the enclosures Onboard Administrator.

4. Select the blade that you have just added.

5. Click the iLO link for that blade.

6. Click either the Integrated Remote Console or the Remote Console.

7. Start the blade using the Virtual Devices Power button.
