Connecting to the network
To connect the 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 BladeSystem c-Class enclosures:
• Pass-Thru modules
• Switch modules
For more information about interconnect module options, see the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
IMPORTANT:
To connect to a network with a Pass-Thru module, always connect the Pass-Thru
module to a network device that supports Gigabit or 10 Gb speed, depending on the corresponding
Pass-Thru model.
Install the server blade
CAUTION:
To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server blade or the
enclosure unless all device bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
CAUTION:
Failure to install the divider in a quadrant when installing half-height blades can result in
damage to the connectors on the server blade.
