Setup and Install

Installation 43
3.
Install the VC-FC module into the interconnect bay (HP Virtual Connect 4Gb Fibre Channel Module
shown). Push the module in slowly and smoothly until it is firmly seated.
4. Connect the data center SAN switch ports to the VC-FC module 1/2/4 Gb SFP ports.
IMPORTANT: For proper thermal operation, always install SFP dust covers in SFP ports without
SFP transceivers installed.
IMPORTANT: For proper Virtual Connect operation, always assign an IP address to each server
blade iLO and interconnect module.
5. Review the Onboard Administrator bay summary screens to verify that each server blade iLO and
interconnect module has been assigned an IP address. Each IP address must be valid and unique, and
all iLOs and VC modules must be on the same subnet. For more information, see the HP BladeSystem
Onboard Administrator User Guide on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/oa).
6. Configure the VC-FC module:
o If VC-Enet modules are installed in the same enclosure, use VCM to administer VC-FC modules.
o If VC-Enet modules are not installed in the same enclosure, the VC-FC module operates in the default
configuration only.
Installing DAC/AOC cables and transceivers
To install a DAC/AOC cable or a QSFP+, SFP+, or SFP transceiver , use the following procedures:
• Installing a DAC/AOC cable ("Installing the cable" on page 43)
• Installing a transceiver ("Installing the transceiver" on page 44)
Installing the cable
1. If needed, remove the packaging and protective caps.
2. Verify the cable is the correct type by checking the label on the transceiver.
3. Remove the dust plug from the correct port.
