Connecting to the network
To connect the HP BladeSystem to a network, each enclosure must be configured with network interconnect
devices to manage signals between the server blades and the external network.
Two types of interconnect modules are available for HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures: Pass-thru modules
and switch modules. For more information about interconnect module options, see the HP website

).
Installing a server blade
CAUTION:
To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the enclosure
unless all bays are populated with a component or a blank.
