4 Installing 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. 

Follow these steps to install the switch module in the blade server: 

Step 1 

If you have not already done so, touch the static-protective package that contains the switch module to an unpainted metal part of the blade server for at least 2 seconds. 

Step 2 

Remove the switch module from its static-protective package. 

Step 3 

Remove the interconnect blank from the bay where you plan to install the switch module, if one is present, and install the switch module. (See 

Figure 3

.)
