The server blade does not provide mezzanine signals for
interconnect bays 3 and 4 (c7000 enclosure) or for interconnect
bay 2 (c3000 enclosure).
For detailed port mapping information, see the HP BladeSystem
enclosure installation poster or the HP BladeSystem enclosure setup
and installation guide on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation
).
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.
