switch CLI, accessing it via serial interface attached to OA and/or USB interface attached to the blade.

When using optional transceiver modules or direct attach cables, order the modules and cables separately. For more information, see the QuickSpecs on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/interconnects).

For more information on BladeSystem port mapping, see the HP BladeSystem enclosure setup and installation guide that shipped with the enclosure.

Firmware requirements

Always install the most current firmware or software for the following items:

Port 17 consists of a CX4 port multiplexed with an SFP+ port. Only one may be active. The SFP+ port takes precedence: if it contains a module, it is the active port and the CX4 port is inactive.

Ports 23 and 24 are each multiplexed with inter-switch link ports on the blade switch’s backplane. Either the SFP+ port on the front panel or the backplane port can be active, but both can not be active at the same time. The SFP+ port on the frontplane takes precedence: if it contains a module, it is the active port and its corresponding backplane port is inactive. Refer to the Installation and Getting Started Guide for more information.
