Installation 51
3.
Install the VC-FC module into the interconnect bay (HP Virtual Connect 4Gb Fibre Channel Module
shown). Push the module in slowly and smoothly until firmly seated.
4. Connect the data center SAN switch ports to the VC-FC module 1/2/4 Gb SFP ports.
IMPORTANT: For proper thermal operation, always install SFP dust covers in SFP ports
without SFP transceivers installed.
IMPORTANT: For proper Virtual Connect operation, always assign an IP address to each
server blade iLO and interconnect module.
5. Review the Onboard Administrator bay summary screens to verify that each server blade iLO and
interconnect module has been assigned an IP address. Each IP address must be valid and unique,
and all iLOs and Virtual Connect modules must be on the same subnet. For more information, see the
HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide on the HP website
(
http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation).
6. Configure the VC-FC module:
o If VC-Enet modules are installed in the same enclosure, use the Virtual Connect Manager to
administer VC-FC modules.
o If VC-Enet modules are not installed in the same enclosure, the VC-FC module operates in the
default configuration only.
