Additional information  
For more information on the association between the server blade  
mezzanine connectors and the interconnect bays, see the HP  
BladeSystem enclosure setup and installation guide that ships with  
the enclosure. During server blade installation, the location of the  
mezzanine card determines the installation location of the switch  
modules.  
For specific switch port connection information for each blade, see  
the HP BladeSystem enclosure setup and installation guide that ships  
with the enclosure. Connections differ by blade type.  
Installation guidelines  
Observe the following guidelines:  
All HP ProCurve switches in the enclosure require valid and  
unique IP addresses before they can be accessed via Ethernet.  
By default DHCP is enabled on these switches, so the switch  
management interface can get IP credentials from the DHCP  
server on the attached Ethernet network. If EBIPA is enabled on  
the Onboard Administrator (OA) of the enclosure, OA will  
assign an IP address to the switch from its configured IP  
address range, so that switch can be accessed from the OA  
Ethernet interface. If EBIPA is disabled but DHCP service is  
available on the network attached to the OA Ethernet interface,  
then the switch gets its IP address assigned from the attached  
network. Any IP host on that network can access the switch at  
this point. If the DHCP service is not available on the attached  
network, the user can assign valid IP credentials from the

Install the blade switch into the interconnect bay.  
Installing the HP ProCurve 6120XG  
Blade Switch  
A green Module Status (“health”) LED indicates a  
successful installation. If the Module Status LED is amber  
or is off, see the “Troubleshooting” section of the HP  
BladeSystem enclosure setup and installation guide for  
more information.  
If there is only one blade switch in the chassis, it must occupy a slot  
on the left-hand side of the chassis (as you face the back of the  
chassis). If there is more than one blade switch in the chassis, the  
configuration rules can be somewhat complex; refer to the  
Installation and Getting Started Guide for the blade switch for more  
detail.  
Follow these steps to install a blade switch module in your chassis:  
NOTE: The HP ProCurve 6120XG Blade Switch module  
can be used in an HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure or an  
HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure. The illustrations in this  
document show the blade switch being installed in a  
c7000 enclosure.  
1.  
Remove the interconnect blank.  
4.  
Connect network cables to the blade switch as desired.  
Accessing the blade switch from  
the HP BladeSystem Onboard  
Administrator  
These instructions assume that you have already set up the HP  
BladeSystem Onboard Administrator (OA) using the First Time Setup  
Wizard. See the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User  
Guide for details on OA setup. For information on OA command line  
interface (CLI) commands, see the HP BladeSystem Onboard  
Administrator Command Line Interface User Guide. Both guides are  
2.  
Prepare the HP ProCurve 6120XG Blade Switch for  
installation.  
1.  
Connect a workstation or laptop computer to the serial port  
on the c3000/c7000 OA module using a null-modem  
serial cable (RS-232).  
2.  
Using a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal or  
TeraTerm), open a connection to the serial port using  
connection parameters of 9600, 8, N, 1.  
3.  
4.  
Press Enter. OA prompts you for login information.  
Enter a valid username and password. The OA system  
prompt appears.  
5.  
Enter the command:  
connect interconnect <bay_number>  
where <bay_number>is the number of the bay  
containing the blade switch. OA connects you to the  
initial screen of the blade switch CLI.  
6.  
Press Enter. The blade switch CLI prompt appears. You  
are now ready to enter blade switch CLI commands.  
See the paragraphs below for instructions for assigning an IP  
address to the blade switch. Refer to the Management and  
Configuration Guide for HP ProCurve 6120 Blade Switches for more

detailed information on configuring the blade switch. The complete  
manual set for the blade switch software is available at  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Verify network connectivity between the blade switch and  
your workstation or laptop computer using a “ping”  
command.  
Using a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal or  
TeraTerm), open a connection using the blade switch’s IP  
address, Telnet protocol, and port 23.  
Accessing the blade switch via the  
mini USB interface (out of band)  
Press Enter twice. The blade switch CLI prompt appears.  
You are now ready to issue blade switch commands.  
For complete information on the blade switch CLI commands see the  
blade switch software manuals, which are available at  
The blade switch console supports out-of-band access via direct  
connection to the mini USB console port from a Windows computer.  
To communicate with the blade switch:  
The blade switch can simultaneously support one out-of-band console  
session through the console port and one in-band Telnet console  
session.  
1.  
Download the USB driver onto the PC. To find the driver:  
b. Click the “Download drivers and software”  
radio button.  
c. Enter “6120XG” in the text box and click  
“Go”.  
Assigning an IP address to the  
blade switch  
d. Click the link for your operating system.  
e. Download the Utilities package.  
By default the blade switch tries to acquire an IP address from a  
DHCP or Bootp server. You can configure an IP address for the  
blade switch using the command line interface (CLI), via the  
Onboard Administrator or the blade switch’s mini USB port.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Install the driver by double-clicking the  
HPProCurve_USBConsole.msi file.  
Connect the small end of the supplied USB console cable  
to the mini USB port.  
To set a static IP address manually:  
Connect the standard end of the supplied USB console  
cable to a workstation or laptop computer. The computer  
will recognize the presence of a new USB device and  
load the driver for it.  
1.  
From the operator’s CLI prompt (>) on the blade switch  
enter:  
enable  
and supply a username and password if requested.  
5.  
6.  
Using a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal or  
TeraTerm), open a connection to the USB port. (By default  
this port will appear as COM4.)  
2.  
3.  
4.  
From the manager’s CLI prompt (#) on the blade switch  
enter:  
config  
Press Enter twice. The blade switch CLI prompt appears.  
You are now ready to enter blade switch commands.  
Specify the VLAN of the port that attaches to the network.  
(By default all ports are in VLAN 1.)  
See the paragraphs below for instructions for assigning an IP  
address to the blade switch. Refer to the Management and  
Configuration Guide for HP ProCurve 6120 Blade Switches for more  
detailed information on using CLI commands to set up the blade  
switch. The complete manual set for the blade switch software is  
vlan <vlan_id>  
Enter an IP address and subnet mask for the switch. (Both  
the IP address and subnet mask are in x.x.x.x format.)  
ip address <ip_address> <subnet_mask>  
Enter a default gateway ip address (in x.x.x.x format).  
ip default-gateway <ip_address>  
5.  
6.  
Accessing the blade switch from  
the Ethernet interface (in band)  
You can return to the operator or manager prompt using  
a series of exitcommands.  
The blade switch console supports in-band access via the data ports  
using Telnet from a PC or UNIX computer on the network, and a VT-  
100 terminal emulator. This method requires the blade switch to  
have an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. The IP  
address, subnet mask, and default gateway can be supplied by a  
DHCP or Bootp server, or you can manually configure them using the  
command line interface (CLI). By default the blade switch gets its IP  
address via DHCP/Bootp; see the next section for instructions on  
manually configuring a static IP address.
