Replacing an Existing GbE Interconnect Switch

CAUTION: Removing an RJ-45 Patch Panel from a powered enclosure will result in the loss of network communications between the server blade and the network infrastructure.

IMPORTANT: If you are replacing an existing GbE Interconnect Switch or upgrading from an RJ-45 Patch Panel, and have strict security requirements:

•Do not cable the GbE Interconnect Switch until after configuration. Or

•Connect the GbE Interconnect Switch to the optional Diagnostic Station. The Diagnostic Station enables you to power up, configure, and diagnose a ProLiant p-Class server blade or a ProLiant p-Class GbE Interconnect Switch outside of the rack environment.
