Interconnect switch and FC connections

Interconnect switches (integrated Ethernet switches) can be installed in a server blade enclosure

supporting HP ProLiant BL25p Generation 2 Server Blades. Each interconnect kit contains two interconnect

switches that reduce server-networking ports from up to 32 to as few as one, depending on the types of

server blades in the enclosure. A variety of interconnect kits are available and all are supported by the HP

ProLiant BL25p Generation 2 Server Blade. For more information, refer to the HP website

(

).

Installing server blade options

Before installing and initializing the server blade, install any server blade options, such as additional

DIMMs, hard drives, NIC mezzanine, FC mezzanine, or a processor. For server blade options installation

information, see "Hardware options installation (on page
