v
I/O bays 3 and 4 support any standard IBM Flex System switch or pass-thru
module. When you install an I/O network adapter in the right-most fabric
connector on the compute node, these I/O bays support any switch with the
same type of network interface that is used by the corresponding network
adapter.
v
The compute nodes or IBM Flex System chassis that are described or shown in
this document might be different from your compute node or IBM Flex System
chassis. For additional information, see the documentation that comes with your
IBM Flex System chassis.
v When the switch is installed in a IBM Flex System chassis, the internal ports
operate at 10 Gbps. The external ports can operate at 1 Gbps, 4 Gbps, 8 Gbps,
or 10 Gbps, depending on the port configuration and the transceiver module
installed.
Before installing the switch module
Locate and record information about the system interconnect module in the
following table. The labels contain the product name, model number, serial number,
part number and the media access control (MAC) address for the system
interconnect module. After the system interconnect module is installed most of the
labels are hidden from view (located on the bottom and rear of the module) and
require removing the system interconnect module in order to relocate them.
Record this information below and print this page and keep it in a safe place for
possible future reference. You will need this information when you register the
switch module with IBM. You can register the switch module at
http://www.ibm.com/support/mysupport/.
