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 speed.
Completing the configuration
To complete the server blade and HP BladeSystem configuration, see the overview card that ships with the
enclosure.
