Page 7: Installing The Blade Switch
Installing the blade switch The HP 6125 switches can be installed into the HP BladeSystem c3000 and c7000 enclosures. The installation position in the enclosure in this document is only for illustration. For more information, see HP BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide . Preparing for installation WARNING! The blade switches are Class 1 laser devices. - Page 8 Figure 3 Opening the ejector lever Slide the blade switch into the interconnect bay (see callout 1 in Figure 4) until it touches the backplane. Push the ejector lever to the closed position. (See callout 2 in Figure Figure 4 Sliding the blade switch into the interconnect bay Verify that the Health LED is green after the blade switch starts up.
