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.
