High speed switch module insertion
1. Read the safety information that begins on page ix and “Installation guidelines” on page 9.
2. Select the high-speed module bay in which to install the switch module.
Note: For details about high-speed module bay requirements and bay locations, see the
documentation for the BladeCenter unit and blade servers.
3. Remove the filler module from the selected bay. Store the filler module for future use. The high
speed switch module is a double-height unit and will take up two HSSM bays. If you have two
single height filler modules, remove both from the adjacent bays.
4. If you have not already done so, touch the static-protective package that contains the switch
module to an unpainted metal surface of the BladeCenter unit or an unpainted metal surface
on any other grounded rack-component for at least 2 seconds.
5. If you are installing the switch module in a BCH-T chassis, you must first install the upper and
lower interposer trays and the gasket kit. Please see the instructions shipped with the
Interposer Kit for details. Other wise, skip to
step 6 .
6. Remove the switch module from its static-protective package.
7. Make sure that the release levers on the switch module are in the open position (perpendicular
to the module).
For specific instructions for installing a switch module in the BladeCenter unit, see the
documentation that comes with the BladeCenter unit.
8. Slide the switch module into the applicable high-speed module bay until it stops.
9. Push the release levers on the front of the switch module to the closed position. After you
insert and lock the switch module, it is turned on, and a power-on self-test (POST) occurs to
verify that the switch module is operating correctly.
