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
configure your switch module. The HP c-Class BladeSystem—hereafter referred to as the blade
server—supports up to eight Ethernet switch modules, which are installed in the interconnect bays of
the blade server.
This guide also covers management options and troubleshooting help for the switch module.
For details on the numbers, types, and the location of the blade server bays, for additional information
on the blade server system, and for detailed port mapping information, see the HP BladeSystem
enclosure installation poster or the HP BladeSystem enclosure setup and installation guide at
http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation.
For additional installation and configuration information about the switch module, see the Cisco
Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP documentation on Cisco.com. For system requirements, important
notes, limitations, open and resolved caveats, and last-minute documentation updates about the switch
module, see the release notes, also on Cisco.com.
When using the online publications, refer to the documents that match the Cisco IOS software version
that is running on the switch module. See the "Obtaining Documentation" section on page 1-24 for
more information about the switch module publications.
For translations of the warnings that appear in this publication and all safety and handling warnings
for this product, see the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco Catalyst Blade
Switch 3020 for HP that accompanies this guide.
Before proceeding, read the release notes for the blade server. The release notes are available on the
