Installation guidelines
Before you install the switch in the IBM Flex System chassis, read the following
information:
v
Read the safety information that begins on page v, “Handling static-sensitive
devices” on page 8, and the safety statements in the IBM Flex System chassis
documentation. This information provides a safe working environment.
v Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed
covers and other parts in a safe place.
v
Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component
to remove it from or install it in the compute node or IBM Flex System chassis,
open or close a latch, and so on.
v Orange on a component or an orange label on or near a component on the
switch, compute node, or IBM Flex System chassis indicates that the component
can be hot-swapped, which means that if the IBM Flex System chassis and
operating system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the
component while the IBM Flex System chassis is running. (Orange can also
indicate touch points on hot-swap components.) See the instructions for removing
or installing a specific hot-swap component for any additional procedures that
you might have to perform before you remove or install the component.
v You do not have to turn off the IBM Flex System chassis to install or replace any
of the hot-swap modules on the front or rear of the IBM Flex System chassis.
v
When you install a switch in the IBM Flex System chassis, you must also install a
compatible I/O network adapter in the compute node to support the switch.
v When you are finished working on the compute node or IBM Flex System
chassis, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.
v
For a list of supported optional devices for the IBM Flex System chassis and
other IBM products, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/
compat/us/.
System reliability guidelines
To help ensure proper cooling, performance, and system reliability, make sure that
the following requirements are met:
v
Each of the bays on the rear of the IBM Flex System chassis contains either a
module or a filler module.
v A removed hot-swap module is replaced with an identical module or filler module
within 1 minute of removal.
v
A removed hot-swap compute node is replaced with another compute node or
filler node within 1 minute of removal.
