To install the switch, complete the following steps.
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 5.
2. Verify that the switch is compatible with the chassis. 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/.
3. Select I/O bay in which to install the switch.
Note: For details about I/O bay requirements and bay locations, see the
documentation for the IBM Flex System chassis.
4. Remove the filler module from the selected bay. Store the filler module for
future use.
5. If you have not already done so, touch the static-protective package that
contains the switch to an unpainted metal surface of the IBM Flex System
chassis or an unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack-component
for at least 2 seconds.
6. Remove the switch from its static-protective package.
7. Make sure that the release levers on the switch are in the open position
(perpendicular to the switch).
8. Slide the switch into the applicable I/O bay until it stops.
9. Push the release levers on the front of the switch to the closed position. After
you insert and lock the switch, it is turned on, and a power-on self-test (POST)
occurs to verify that the switch is operating correctly.
Note: The switch takes approximately 100 seconds to complete the POST.
During POST, the Power LED continuously flashes. Once POST has
successfully completed, the Power LED remains on and the Error LED
is off.
10. Make sure that the LEDs on the switch indicate that it is operating correctly
(see “Information LEDs” on page 16).
11. If you have another switch to install, repeat step 4 through step 10; otherwise,
go to the next step.
12. Install the SFP+ or QSFP+ modules in the switch. For information and
instructions, see “Installing and removing the SFP+ and QSFP+ module” on
page 9 and the documentation that comes with the SFP+ or QSFP+ modules.
