Installing the switch CAUTION: Properly ground yourself before handling the switch. IMPORTANT: Populate all the enclosure interconnect bays with an interconnect module or one of the blank panels provided with the enclosure. For help identifying the specific enclosure setup and available connections, obtain the setup and installation guide provided with the enclosure, or access it from the HP website: http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation To install the Cisco MDS 8Gb Fabric Switch in the enclosure: 1. Locate the appropriate interconnect bay at the rear of the enclosure. See the setup and installation guide provided with the enclosure. 2. Press the handle latch to release the handle (Figure 3).

Press the installation handle into the latch to lock the switch into place. Verifying the configuration The Onboard Administrator (OA) is the management module used to support and manage the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure and all the 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 server blades. If there is no mismatch, the OA powers on the switch. If the switch does not power on, check the enclosure and switch status using the OA web interface. For more information and troubleshooting tips, see the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide. 1. Locate the LEDs (Figure 5). Figure 5 Identifying LEDs 1 ! 196991 196998 3 1.
