Major components of the BladeCenter 4-Port Gb Ethernet Switch
Module

The orange color on components and labels on your Ethernet switch module and
BladeCenter unit identifies hot-swap or hot-plug components. You can install or
remove these components while the system is running, provided that your system is
configured to support this function.

The blue color on components and labels indicates touch points where a
component can be gripped, a latch moved, and so on.

The following illustration shows the major components of your Ethernet switch
module.
