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
The HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure ships with four device
bay shelves to support half-height devices. To install a full-
height device, remove the device bay shelf and the
corresponding blanks.
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.
To install a server blade:
1. Remove the blank.
2. Remove the three adjacent blanks.
3. Slide the device bay shelf locking tab to the left to open
it.
