For detailed port mapping information, see the HP BladeSystem

and installation guide on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation).
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
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/interconnects).
Installing server blade options
Before installing and initializing the server blade, install any server
blade options, such as an additional processor, hard drive, or
mezzanine card. For server blade options installation information,
see the
HP ProLiant BL685c G6 Server Blade User Guide
on the
HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation).
Installing a server blade
1.
Remove the connector covers.
2.
Prepare the server blade for installation.
3.
Install the server blade.
Assembling a full height blank
CAUTION:
To prevent improper cooling and thermal
damage, do not operate the server blade or the enclosure
unless all hard drive and device bays are populated with
either a component or a blank.
1.
Obtain the coupler plate:
o
If you are using a device bay blank that came with the
enclosure, the coupler plate can be found with the contents
of the full-height device shipping box.
o
If you are using a device bay blank that you purchased as
an option, remove the coupler plate from inside the blank.
2.
Fit the coupler plate in to the slots on top of the blank, and
slide the coupler plate back until it snaps into place.
3.
Fit the slots on the bottom of the second blank on to the tabs on
the coupler plate, and slide the second blank forward until it
snaps in place.
4.
Install the full-height blank into the device bay.
Completing the configuration
To complete the server blade and HP BladeSystem configuration, see
the overview card that ships with the enclosure.
