Cisco Systems 3020 Installing the Switch Module in the Blade Server, This equipment. Statement

Page 6

Consider these prerequisites before installing your switch module:

•Fill any unoccupied interconnect bays or any unoccupied power module bays in the blade server with blanks.

•Identify the bays in which you will insert the switch modules. Plan to install the first switch module in bay 1, the second in bay 2, and so on up to bay 8, if possible. The bay in which you choose to install each switch module depends on whether mezzanine or Ethernet cards are installed in the blade server and how they are configured. See the blade server documentation for more information about installing and configuring the mezzanine or Ethernet cards.

The interconnect module bays are physically interconnected in pairs through the blade server backplane. That is, each of these pairs—bays 1 and 2, bays 3 and 4, bays 5 and 6, and bays 7 and 8—are interconnected. If you install two switch modules in one of the paired bays, they are internally interconnected. You must configure the switch modules to logically enable the interconnect ports, Gigabit Ethernet ports 23 and 24. See the switch module software configuration guide for information on configuring these ports.

•See the HP c-Class documentation for information on the port mapping between blade servers and the switch modules.

4Installing the Switch Module in the Blade Server

Before you install the switch module in the blade server, consider these points:

•Review and become familiar with the safety guidelines in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP that accompanies this guide.

•Review and become familiar with the safety guidelines in the HP BladeSystem enclosure setup and installation guide.

•Review and become familiar with the temperature, power, and grounding requirements specified in the HP BladeSystem enclosure setup and installation guide.

Warning

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service

 

this equipment. Statement 1030

 

 

Caution To prevent electrostatic-discharge (ESD) damage when installing switch modules, follow your normal board and component handling procedures.

Note When you install a switch module, you do not need to power down the blade server.
