Port mapping For detailed port mapping information, see the HP BladeSystem Enclosure Quick Setup Guide or the HP BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation). Dual pass-thru modules In a dual pass-thru module configuration, two pass-thru modules in the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure provide redundant paths to the network ports on the server blades. Redundant paths to server bays In a dual pass-thru module conf

Installing the pass-thru module Manually configuring the pass-thru module Configure the pass-thru module manually using a CLI. See "Accessing the pass-thru module ("Accessing the pass-thru module CLI" on page 10)" for more information. Module security The 10GbE Pass-Thru Module does not provide network security. You must provide security for the module from somewhere else on the network. Installing the module CAUTION: Do not attach the pass-thru module cables until after config

4. Close the handle (2). Complete installation is indicated by a green Health LED. If the Health LED is amber or power is not applied to the module, see the HP BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide for troubleshooting information. Accessing the pass-thru module CLI You can access the pass-thru module CLI remotely using the Onboard Administrator enclosure or locally using the mini-USB to DB-9 RS232 Management serial port. Accessing the pass-thru module CLI remotely 1.

Accessing the pass-thru module CLI locally 1. Using a null-modem mini-USB to DB-9 RS232 serial cable (not included), connect the pass-thru module management port to a local client device (such as a laptop computer). 2. Open a terminal emulation session and set the following parameters: Parameter Value Baud rate 9600 Data bits 8 Parity None Stop bits 1 Flow control None Production mode CLI The CLI provides backward and forward cursor control, backward deletion capability, and a

• The system/info command displays image version, board revision, or chip revisions. • The effect from any CLI command is immediate. For example, configuring auto-negotiation on a port takes effect when the command is completed. • Flow control is not configurable because the pass-thru module cannot handle or generate pause packets. When using the 10GbE Pass-Thru Module, you must ensure that your pause configuration is correct for both link partners. Installing SFP+ transceivers CA

Replacing a pass-thru module Replacing an existing module CAUTION: Removing the pass-thru module from a powered enclosure results in the loss of network communications between the server blade network ports and the network infrastructure. For continued blade-server network communication and services availability before removing the module, redirect critical high-availability services or applications to use the redundant network ports. CAUTION: Do not connect the pass-thru

Updating the 10GbE pass-thru firmware Methods for updating the 10GbE Pass-Thru Module firmware CAUTION: The pass-thru module automatically reboots after the firmware update, which disrupts all server traffic on all ports on this pass-thru module. The server blades can be powered on while this pass-thru module firmware is updated, but they lose connectivity while the firmware reboots on each pass-thru module. CAUTION: Do not power off the pass-thru module during the download
