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 (http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/interconnects). IMPORTANT: To connect to a network with a Pass-Thru module, always connect the Pass-Thru module to a network device that supports Gigabit or 10 Gb speed, depending on the corresponding Pass-Thru model. Installing a server blade CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server blade enclosure unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank. For the best possible HP BladeSystem and Virtual Connect experience and to prevent a future reboot, HP requires updating the Onboard Administrator and Virtual Connect to the correct version before installing an HP ProLiant Gen8 server blade. The version information is located on the tag on the front of the server blade. For more information on this and other specific firmware and driver requirements as well as the latest firmware and driver versions, download the SPP on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/spp/download). 3.
