2 1 Introduction This guide provides instructions on how to install your Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP—hereafter referred to as the switch module —in the HP c-Class BladeSystem and to set up and conf igure your switch module. The HP c-Class BladeSystem—hereafter referred to as the blade server —supports up to eight Ethernet switch[...]

3 If the switch modules are ordered with the blade server , the switch modules are already installed. The unpacking procedure for the switch module applies only if one is ordered separately . See the blade server documentation for the unpacking procedure for the HP equipment. Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module Description The Cisco Catalyst Blade[...]

4 The blade server includes a chassis management module, the Onboard Administrator . Each switch module connects internally to the Onboard Administrator through 100BASE-T Ethernet links. Y ou can manage the switch modules through the Onboard Administrator on a management network that is isolated from other switch traff ic. Y ou can also manage the [...]

6 Consider these prerequisites before installing your switch module: • Fill any unoccupied interconnect bays or any unoccupied power module bays in the blade server with blanks. • Identify the bays in which you will insert the switch modules. Plan to install the f irst switch module in bay 1, the second in bay 2, and so on up to bay 8, if possi[...]

7 Follow these steps to install the switch module in the blade server: Step 1 If you have not already done so, touch the static-protective package that contains the switch module to an unpainted metal part of the blade server for at least 2 seconds. Step 2 Remove the switch module from its static-protective package. Step 3 Remove the interconnect b[...]

8 Step 4 Ensure that the release latch on the switch module is in the open position (perpendicular to the module): Step 5 Slide the switch module into the bay until it stops. (See Figure 4.)

10 Before you run Express Setup, you must set up your switch module to communicate with a Hyperterminal program. Note The initial conf iguration assumes that the switch module was never conf igured, that it is in the same state as when it was received, and that it is not conf igured with a default username and password. Note T o set up the switch m[...]

11 Using Express Setup to Assign a VLAN 1 IP Address to the Switch Module Use these steps to assign an IP address to the VLAN 1 interface through Express Setup. Y ou must start these steps immediately after you have installed the switch module (see the “Installing the Switch Module in the Blade Server” section on page 6). Note If approximately [...]

12 Step 4 Press and hold the Mode button until the four LEDs next to the Mode button turn green. This takes approximately 3 seconds. Step 5 Release the Mode button.
