Server Blade Enclosure Bay Numbering Each server blade enclosure requires a pair of interconnect modules to provide network access for data transfer. Resolve bay numbering before determining connections between the server blades and interconnects. IMPORTANT: Note that server blade bay numbering in the figure is reversed when looking at the rear of the enclosure.
This RJ-45 connector enables remote manageability for each server blade in the enhanced server blade enclosure. For more information about the enhanced server blade enclosure, refer to the HP ProLiant BL p-Class Server Blade Enclosure Upgrade Installation Guide or the HP ProLiant BL p-Class Server Blade Enclosure Installation Guide.
For more information, refer to the HP Integrated Lights-Out User Guide. NOTE: You can perform a server blade power-up override when the management modules are not in use to manage the power-up request.
IMPORTANT: Remote power procedures require the most recent firmware for the power enclosure and server blade enclosure management modules. For the most recent firmware, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/support). Remove the Server Blade 1.
Page 19
4. Remove the server blade from the server blade enclosure. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them. CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server blade before beginning any installation procedure.
1. Verify that the proper server blade enclosure is installed for the server blade. Refer to "Server Blade Enclosure Compatibility (on page 16)." 2. Verify that adequate power is available. Refer to the HP BladeSystem p-Class power calculator on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/powercalculator).
HP ProLiant BL25p Server Blade User Guide Connecting to the Network To connect the HP BladeSystem to a network, each server blade enclosure must be configured with a pair of network interconnects to manage signals between the server blades and the external network. For more information about interconnect options, refer to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/interconnects).
Complete the system configuration before installing additional server blades.

HP ProLiant BL25p Server Blade User Guide Certain configuration requirements exist with single- and dual-rank DIMMs that allow the architecture to optimize performance. A dual-rank DIMM is similar to having two separate DIMMs on the same module. Although only a single DIMM module, a dual-rank DIMM acts as if it were two separate DIMMs.
DIMM Slots Installing DIMMs To install the component: 1. Power down the server blade (on page 18). 2. Remove the server blade (on page 18). 3. Open the DIMM slot latches. 4. Install the DIMM. To remove DIMMs, reverse the installation procedure. For DIMM slots 1 and 2, remove the air baffle, if necessary.
HP ProLiant BL25p Server Blade User Guide Hard Drive Option The server blade hot-plug SCSI hard drives have unique SCSI IDs that the system automatically sets. The IDs number from top to bottom on each server blade. IMPORTANT: Always populate hard drive bays starting with SCSI ID 0 (the top bay).
2. Install the hard drive. 3. Determine the status of the hard drive from the hot-plug hard drive LEDs ("Hot-Plug SCSI Hard Drive LED Combinations" on page 11). 4. Resume normal server operations. Fibre Channel Adapter Option An optional dual port FC adapter enables FC support for clustering capabilities and SAN connection when used in conjunction with interconnect devices that support a SAN connection.
