2.
Prepare the VC-Enet module for installation (HP VC Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Module shown).
3. Install the module into the interconnect bay (HP VC Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Module shown). Push the
module in slowly and smoothly until firmly seated.
4. If the VC Manager configuration includes three or more VC-Enet modules, install stacking links
(typically 10GBASE-CX4 cables) between the modules. For more information, see "Connecting
Virtual Connect Ethernet Module uplinks (on page
57)."
5. Connect the data center network cables to the appropriate VC-Enet module faceplate ports. This step
can be deferred until after setup of the Virtual Connect Manager software. See "Default module
configuration (on page
10)."
For VC-Enet Modules with fiber Ethernet ports (such as 1000BASE-SFP and 10GBASE-XFP), fiber
ports can be used to connect to the data center if they are populated with a supported pluggable
SFP, XFP, or SFP+ transceiver module.
For HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Modules, the SFP+ ports can be used to connect to
the data center if they are populated with a supported pluggable SFP or SFP+ transceiver module.
