Interconnect bay numbering and device mapping

To support network connections for specific signals, install an interconnect module in the bay
corresponding to the embedded NIC or mezzanine signals.

For detailed port mapping information, see the HP BladeSystem enclosure installation poster or the
HP BladeSystem enclosure setup and installation guide on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation).

Connecting to the network

To connect the HP 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 HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures: Pass-thru modules
and switch modules. For more information about interconnect module options, see the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/interconnects).
