Using the Onboard Administrator to Assign an IP Address
to the Switch Module and Running Express Setup
For the switch module to obtain an IP address for the Fa0 interface through the Onboard
Administrator, these conditions must be met:
• The blade enclosure is powered on and connected to the network.
• Basic configuration of the Onboard Administrator is completed, and you have the username and
password for the Onboard Administrator.
• A DHCP server is configured on the network segment to which the blade enclosure is connected,
or the Onboard Administrator is configured to run as a DHCP server.
See the Onboard Administrator user guide at
Note
http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation
and using the Onboard Administrator.
After you install the switch module in the interconnect module bay, after approximately 2 minutes, the
switch module automatically obtains an IP address for its Fa0 interface through the Onboard
Administrator. This method of obtaining an IP address occurs if a DCHP server is configured on the
same network, or if the Onboard Administrator is configured as a DHCP server.
After you have installed the switch module (see the "HP Blade System Architecture" section on
page 9), it powers on. The switch module begins the power-on self-test (POST), a series of tests that
runs automatically to ensure that the switch module functions properly.
To set up and initially configure the switch module by using the Cisco IOS CLI, see the "Configuring
the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program" section in the hardware installation guide.
Wait for the switch module to complete POST. This might take several minutes.
Step 1
Verify that POST has completed by confirming that the system status LEDs remain green.
Step 2
If the switch module fails POST, the system LED turns amber. If the POST fails, see the "In
Case of Difficulty" section on page 27 to determine a course of action. POST errors are
usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems immediately if your switch module fails POST.
Wait approximately 2 minutes for the switch module to get the software image from its flash

memory and begin autoinstallation.
If you already have the Onboard Administrator open through a browser window, go to Step 5.
