Interconnect switch and FC connections
Interconnect switches (integrated Ethernet switches) can be installed in a server blade enclosure
supporting HP ProLiant BL25p Generation 2 Server Blades. Each interconnect kit contains two interconnect
switches that reduce server-networking ports from up to 32 to as few as one, depending on the types of
server blades in the enclosure. A variety of interconnect kits are available and all are supported by the HP
ProLiant BL25p Generation 2 Server Blade. For more information, refer to the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/interconnects
).
Installing server blade options
Before installing and initializing the server blade, install any server blade options, such as additional
DIMMs, hard drives, NIC mezzanine, FC mezzanine, or a processor. For server blade options installation
information, see "Hardware options installation (on page 22)."
