(http://www.hp.com/support)
•HP Technical Documentation website (http://docs.hp.com)
Installing server blade options
Before installing and initializing the server blade, install any server
blade options, such as an additional processor, hard drive, or
mezzanine card. For server blade options installation information,
see the HP ProLiant BL680c Generation 5 Server Blade User Guide
on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation).
Installing interconnect modules
For specific steps to install interconnect modules, see the

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).
Installing a server blade
HP BladeSystem enclosures ship with device bay shelves to support
half-height devices. To install a full-height device, remove the
device bay shelf and the corresponding blanks.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal
damage, do not operate the server blade or the enclosure
unless all hard drive and device bays are populated with
either a component or a blank.
Installation is shown in the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure.
For detailed information on the c7000 or other BladeSystem
enclosures, see the appropriate enclosure setup guide or server
blade user guide.
Enclosure documentation is located at the HP website
(http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/80316-0-0-0-
121.html).
Server blade documentation is located at the HP website
(http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/platforms/).
To install a server blade:
1. Remove the blank.
2. Remove the three adjacent blanks.
3. Slide the device bay shelf locking tab to the left to open it.

4. Push the device bay shelf back until it stops, lift the right side
slightly to disengage the two tabs from the divider wall, and
then rotate the right edge downward (clockwise).
5. Lift the left side of the device bay shelf to disengage the three
tabs from the divider wall, and then remove it from the
enclosure.
6. Remove the connector covers.
7. Prepare the server blade for installation.
8. Install the server blade.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal
damage, do not operate the server blade or the enclosure
unless all hard drive and device bays are populated with
either a component or a blank.
9. Install blanks in any empty bays. For more information, see
the enclosure setup and installation guide.
