To link the enclosures, use a standard Category 5 (CAT5) patch cable to connect the enclosure link-down port on the first enclosure to the enclosure link-up port on the second enclosure. Cabling a PC to the enclosure service port A PC can be temporarily connected to the enclosure to access the Onboard Administrator modules, iLO 2, and interconnect modules with Ethernet management ability. When enclosures in the same rack are linked, connecting a PC to the service port enables you to access the Onboard Administrator modules, iLO 2, and interconnect modules for all linked c-Class enclosures in that rack. NOTE: The service port is the enclosure link-up port on the top enclosure in a group of linked enclosures. If the enclosures are not linked together, each enclosure has a service port. Only one PC at a time can be connected to a group of linked enclosures using the service port. 1. Use the Insight Display on the enclosure you are logging into to obtain the Service IP address of that active Onboard Administrator module on the Enclosure Info screen.

Cabling and powering up the enclosure
58
To link the enclosures, use a standard Category 5 (CAT5) patch cable to connect the enclosure link-down
port on the first enclosure to the enclosure link-up port on the second enclosure.
Cabling a PC to the enclosure service port
A PC can be temporarily connected to the enclosure to access the Onboard Administrator modules, iLO
2, and interconnect modules with Ethernet management ability. When enclosures in the same rack are
linked, connecting a PC to the service port enables you to access the Onboard Administrator modules,
iLO 2, and interconnect modules for all linked c-Class enclosures in that rack.
NOTE:
The service port is the enclosure link-up port on the
top
enclosure in a group of linked
enclosures. If the enclosures are not linked together, each enclosure has a service port.
Only one PC at a time can be connected to a group of linked enclosures using the service port.
1.
Use the Insight Display on the enclosure you are logging into to obtain the Service IP address of that
active Onboard Administrator module on the Enclosure Info screen. The Service IP address can be
found in the Enclosure Settings screen.
2.
Connect the laptop or PC 10/100Mb Ethernet port configured for DHCP addressing to the available
link-up port on the top enclosure in the rack using a standard CAT5 patch cable. A Windows® PC
automatically obtains an IP address. If no IP address is obtained, configure the PC Ethernet port for
static addressing using the IP address 169.254.1.254 with a netmask of 255.255.0.0.
3.
Open a web browser on the PC and enter the active Onboard Administrator module Service IP
address found in the Enclosure Info screen in step 2.
4.
Log into the Remote Onboard Administrator. See the
HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User
Guide
for information on using the Remote Onboard Administrator feature.
Cabling the network to the enclosure
Cable the interconnect modules to the enclosure. See "Mapping to interconnect ports (on page
48
)" and
the supporting documentation that came with your interconnect modules for specific details on cabling the
interconnect modules.
