Installation 37
3.
Install the module into the interconnect bay (HP 1/10Gb VC-Enet Module shown). Push the module
in slowly and smoothly until firmly seated.
4.
If the VC Manager configuration includes three or more VC-Enet modules, install stacking links
(typically 10GBASE-CX4 cables) between the modules. For more information, see "Connecting
Virtual Connect Ethernet Module uplinks (on page
)."
5.
Connect the data center network cables to the appropriate VC-Enet module faceplate ports. This step
can be deferred until after setup of the Virtual Connect Manager software. See "Default module
configuration (on page
)."
For VC-Enet Modules with fiber Ethernet ports (such as 1000BASE-SFP and 10GBASE-XFP), fiber
ports can be used to connect to the data center if they are populated with a supported pluggable
SFP, XFP, or SFP+ transceiver module.
For HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Modules, the SFP+ ports can be used to connect to
the data center if they are populated with a supported pluggable SFP or SFP+ transceiver module.
IMPORTANT:
For proper thermal operation, always install SFP dust covers in SFP ports without
SFP transceivers installed.
6.
Remove the perforated portion of the Default Network Setting label that extends beyond the
faceplate of the VC-Enet module installed in interconnect bay 1, or record the information contained
on the label.
The Default Network Settings label contains the DNS name, username, and password of the
interconnect module in interconnect bay 1. This information is required for access to the HP Virtual
Connect Manager.
7.
Power on and configure the enclosure. See the appropriate HP BladeSystem enclosure setup and
installation guide on the HP websit
8.
Connect a workstation to the data center network hosting the HP BladeSystem Onboard
Administrator for the enclosure.
9.
Start and log on to the workstation.
