To activate the new image or images, you must reset the switch. To reset the
switch, complete the following steps:
1. Log on to the IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module (CMM) CLI as
described in the switch's User's Guide or CLI Reference Guide for the CMM. If
necessary, obtain the IP address of the management module from your system
administrator.
2. Set the environment to the bay where you installed the switch. For example:
system> env -T system:switch[1]
3. Issue the reset command to restart the switch:
system:mm[1]> env -T system:switch[1]
system:switch[1]> reset
4. Wait approximately 100 seconds for POST to complete.
5. Issue the info command for the switch that was just restarted and note the
corresponding level of the firmware for the switch. Confirm that the firmware
build number reflects the correct firmware release:

Acquiring feature licenses
The base option for IBM Flex System Fabric EN4093 and EN4093R switches
support twenty-four total data ports (fourteen compute node ports and ten uplink
ports). Licenses are available that enable the use of additional ports on the switch:
v
Upgrade 1 - This upgrade feature adds fourteen internal ports (15 - 28) and two
external 40 Gb ports (57 and 61). If ports EXT15 and EXT19 are configured for
10 Gbps then ports 57 - 64 are enabled.
v
Upgrade 2 - This upgrade feature option adds fourteen internal ports (29 - 43)
and four external 10 Gb ports (53 - 56) to the Upgrade 1 feature.
Note: Upgrade 1 is a prerequisite to Upgrade 2.
Upgrade licenses are unique to each switch and are non transferable.
To acquire an upgrade license activation key, purchase the Authorization Code and
locate the unique ID (UID) on the switch serial number (SN) label (bottom or rear of
switch module). The UID is the last twelve characters of the switch serial number.
This serial number is located on the part number (PN) label (bottom or rear of
switch module) and is also displayed during a login to any of the user interfaces.
