Any Issues Putting Gen8 Blades in Older C7000?

[chuckk281]

Dennis had a Gen8 upgrade question:

*************

Blade Experts:

Our customer wants to know, are there known issues or caveats when in putting Gen8 blades in a C7000 chassis that currently has Gen 1 blades in it?

Input from Jeroen:

This document shows it hopefully all: http://h41297.www4.hp.com/km/saw/view.do?docId=mmr_kc-0100204

Let me know if more additions are needed. It will show up on www.hp.com/go/hpsc  soon.

Questions?

Same issue, customer has older C7000 Chassis and put Gen 8 blades into it with HP VC & Flex 10 modules. Blades will NOT power up? Any ideas? How can we tell what generation the C7000 chassis is?

Thank you

But you should always check the OA and VC firmware requirements for Gen8 blades.
