Note:
In order to add another 4x DDR InfiniBand switch module to a c-Class enclosure, it may be
necessary to remove the existing c-Class cable management bracket. If the c-Class blade cable
management bracket needs to be removed, reverse the installation procedure described in the
HP Cluster Platform c-Class Blade Cable Management Bracket Installation Guide. In most instances,
it is not necessary to remove the cables from the bracket, however, it might be necessary to
remove the cables from the interconnect module.
To install the HP 4x DDR InfiniBand Switch Module, follow these steps:
1. Prepare the bay by removing any devices, blanks and the divider, as shown by callouts 1
and 2 in Figure 4-16.
