Verify configuration The HP Onboard Administrator is the enclosure management module used to support and manage the HP c-Class BladeSystem and all managed devices used in the enclosure. Once the switch is installed in the interconnect bay, the OA verifies that the switch type matches the mezzanine cards present on the servers. If there is no mismatch, the OA powers up the switch. If the switch does not power up, check the enclosure and switch status using the OA web interface. Refer to HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator user guide.
