).

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

(

Installing a server blade

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.
