Installing a high-speed fabric switch
CAUTION:
To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the chassis unless all
device bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the connectors, carefully note the orientation in the following diagrams
before you install the switch.
IMPORTANT:
The chassis controller or HPE Apollo Platform Manager must be installed for a switch to
power on for the first time. Once the switch is powered on by the chassis controller or HPE Apollo
Platform Manager, you can remove the chassis controller, if needed.
High-speed fabric switches can be installed in bays 3 and 4. Populating the high-speed fabric switch bays
depends on the configuration of the installed servers. For more information, see "
Installing high-speed
fabric switch options
on page 36."
