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
IMPORTANT:
To connect to a network with a Pass-Thru module, always connect the Pass-Thru
module to a network device that supports Gigabit speed.
Installing server blade options
Before installing and initializing the server blade, install any server blade options, such as an additional
processor, hard drive, or mezzanine card.
