For help identifying your specific enclosure setup and available connections, see the HPE Synergy 12000 Frame Setup and Install Guide, provided with your enclosure, or the website http://www.hpe.com/info/bladesystem/documentation.

Install the Brocade 16Gb FC Switch Module into the enclosure:

  1. Locate the appropriate interconnect bay in the frame.

    NOTE: Populate all frame interconnect bays with an interconnect module or one of the blank panels provided.

HPE Synergy Frame Link Module power verification

HPE OneView is the virtual appliance that monitors and manages the devices contained within the frame. HPE OneView provides a single point from which you can perform basic management tasks on switches or compute modules installed in the frame and is the interface to the HPE Synergy Frame Link Module.

IMPORTANT: Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends reading the appropriate HPE Synergy 12000 Frame Setup and Install Guide and the HPE OneView User Guide for HPE Synergy. Reading these guides in sequence promotes an overall understanding of your Synergy Frame.

Once the switch is installed in the interconnect bay, the HPE Synergy Frame Link Module verifies the switch type matches the mezzanine cards present on the servers. If there is no mismatch, the HPE Synergy Frame Link Module powers up the switch.

If the switch does not power up, check the frame and switch status with the HPE OneView web interface. For more information, see the HPE OneView User Guide for HPE Synergy.
