Introduction 11
Installing the switch
2
The chassis supports a maximum of four Lenovo Flex System EN4023 10Gb Scalable Switches and
a maximum of 14 1-bay compute nodes.
See the documentation that comes with your Lenovo Flex System chassis for information about
switch bay locations and the components that can be installed in them that are specific to your
chassis type.
NOTES:
•
The compute nodes or chassis that are described or shown in this document might be different
from your compute nodes or chassis. For additional information, see the documentation that
comes with your compute nodes or chassis.
•
When the switch is installed in the chassis, the internal ports can operate at 10- or 1-Gbps
Ethernet; external ports can operate at 10-Gbps Ethernet through 10-Gbps SFP+ transceivers
(auto-negotiated) or 1-Gbps. Ports 57 and 58 can operate at 40-Gbps Ethernet or 4x10-Gbps
Ethernet when configured in breakout mode.
For information on supported components, go to the Lenovo Server Proven website at
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/flex.html.
•
The FlexPort feature allows configuration of specific ports on the Lenovo Flex System EN4023
10Gb Scalable Switch as 10 GbE ports or as 2 Gbps, 4 Gbps, 8 Gbps, or 16 Gbps FC ports,
depending on installed SFP+ transceivers. Refer to
“FlexPort” on page 5 for more information.
FlexPort is supported by Network OS 5.0.0 and later.

Configuration requirements for the switch and chassis might vary. For the most up-to-date
product documentation for all of your Lenovo Flex System products, go to the Lenovo Flex

To install the switch, complete the following steps.
1. Read the following safety information:
•
“Safety” on page vii
•
“System reliability guidelines” on page 9
2. Select the chassis bay in which to install the switch. For details about bay requirements and
bay locations, see the documentation that comes with the chassis and compute nodes.
3. Remove the filler panel from the selected bay. Store the filler panel for future use.
4. If you have not already done so, touch the static-protective package that contains the switch to
an unpainted metal surface of the chassis or an unpainted metal surface on any other
grounded rack-component for at least two seconds.
5. Remove the switch from its static-protective package.
6. Make sure the release levers on the switch are in the open position (perpendicular to the
switch). See Figure 2 to view the release levers and locks on the switch.
For specific instructions for installing a switch in the chassis, see the documentation that
comes with the chassis.
