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 ("Connecting for HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 Series Server
Blades 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.
