If the switch modules are ordered with the blade server, the switch modules are already installed. The unpacking procedure for the switch module applies only if one is ordered separately. See the blade server documentation for the unpacking procedure for the HP equipment.

Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module Description

The Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP is a 24 Gigabit Ethernet port, Layer 2+ switch module. Sixteen of the Gigabit Ethernet ports are internal 1000BASE-X downlink ports that connect to the blade server. The other eight Gigabit Ethernet ports are external uplink ports that provide connections to other switches or routers. Uplink ports operate at 10/100/1000 Mbps if used as RJ-45 ports and operate at 1000 Mbps if small form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber-optic modules are installed. See Table 1 for more detailed descriptions of the switch module ports.

Figure 1 shows the switch module.
