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  
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 configuration, redundant Ethernet signals from each server blade are routed  
through the enclosure backplane to separate pass-thru modules within the enclosure. This configuration  
provides redundant paths to each server bay.  
Redundant Ethernet signals from each blade server are routed through the enclosure backplane to  
separate pass-thru modules within the enclosure. However, port to server mapping varies based on the  
type of server blade installed.  
XModem  
The pass-thru module supports XModem for transferring files during firmware upgrade using the serial  
management port. XModem sends blocks of data and includes an error-detection system called a  
checksum. When the data is received, the error detection system ensures that the entire message reached  
its destination. If not, the receiving computer sends a request for data retransmission.

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  
CAUTION: Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP+ transceiver, because of  
the potential damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the SFP+  
transceiver.  
Removing and installing an SFP+ transceiver can shorten the life of the product. Do not remove  
and insert SFP+ transceivers more often than is necessary.  
CAUTION: HP recommends attaching an ESD-preventative wrist strap to your wrist and to a  
bare metal surface on the chassis to prevent electrostatic discharge.  
CAUTION: When not using the fiber-optic SFP+ transceiver and cable, be sure to install the  
dust plugs on both. The plugs and caps protect the SFP+ transceiver ports and cables from  
contamination and ambient light.  
1.  
2.  
Remove the dust plug and save for future use.  
IMPORTANT: Use only HP-approved SFP+ transceivers.  
Insert the SFP+ transceiver. With latch closed, be sure that the transceiver is fully seated and secure.  
CAUTION: If you plan to install the SFP+ transceiver into the bottom row of the module, before  
installation, rotate the SFP+ transceiver 180 degrees from the position shown in the illustration.

Electrostatic discharge  
Preventing electrostatic discharge  
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the  
system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage  
system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the  
device.  
To prevent electrostatic damage:  
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.  
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.  
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.  
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.  
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.  
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic  
discharge  
Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or  
installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:  
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist  
straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords.  
To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.  
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet  
when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.  
Use conductive field service tools.  
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.  
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller  
install the part.  
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized  
reseller.
