Installation Instructions
Installation and safety considerations
The Cisco MDS 8Gb Fabric Switch is installed in the I/O bays in the rear of the HP BladeSystem c-Class
enclosure. For specific enclosure requirements, see the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure Setup and
Installation Guide on the HP website:
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00698286/c00698286.pdf
Installing multiple switches
When installing multiple switches, install and configure one Cisco MDS 8Gb Fabric Switch at a time.
Each switch must be assigned a unique Ethernet IP address during configuration. Once the IP address on
the Cisco MDS 8Gb Fabric Switch is set, install additional switches in the enclosure. See the HP
BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide for help identifying your specific enclosure
setup, available connections, and power requirements.
Electrical considerations
The Cisco MDS 8Gb Fabric Switch requires 55 watts. There are no other power requirements or
provisions.
Environmental considerations
Ensure proper cooling and ventilation by verifying the following:
•
The air vents on the enclosure are not blocked or restricted.
•
The ambient air temperature at the front of the enclosure does not exceed 35°C (95°F) while the
switch is operating.
