Switch Installation

This chapter provides instructions on how to install your Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP,
referred to as the switch module, in the HP c-Class BladeSystem enclosure and how to set up and
configure your switch module. The HP c-Class BladeSystem, referred to as the blade server, is a system
that supports up to 16 server modules and up to 8 Ethernet switch modules. The switch module is
installed in one of the enclosure I/O module bays on the rear panel of the server enclosure.
This chapter also describes how to interpret the power-on self-test (POST) that ensures proper operation
and how to make connections to the switch module.
