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
