* When using c7000 enclosures and P721m controllers, the 6Gb SAS BL Switch can be installed only in c7000
interconnect bays 5, 6, 7, and 8, because the P721m controller cannot be installed in server expansion slot 1, which
maps to c7000 interconnect bays 3 and 4.
For more information about mappings, see the HP BladeSystem Deployment Guide for Solutions
with 6Gb SAS BL Switches and External SAS Storage Enclosures and user documents for your
BladeSystem c-Class enclosure model. For information about supported SAS controllers, see the
6Gb SAS BL Switch QuickSpecs.
Installing the switch
NOTE:
•
The SAS BL Switch can be hot-installed in an operational BladeSystem c-Class enclosure.
•
Make sure that the Smart Array SAS Controllers are installed in server expansion slots that
map to the selected BladeSystem c-Class enclosure interconnect bay.
•
The SAS BL Switch does not have a power on/off button. Power is automatically applied or
removed when the switch is installed or removed from the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure.
Alternatively, power can be applied or removed through the Onboard Administrator
application.
•
Connect SAS cables to external storage enclosures only after confirming that the desired
firmware version is installed on the switch.
