    IBM Flex System chassis type. You can install up to four I/O modules in the IBM Flex System chassis, including Ethernet switch modules, Fibre Channel switch modules, Infiniband, and pass-thru modules (optical and copper).

  • Page 16: Installation Guidelines

    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.

  • Page 17: Handling Static-Sensitive Devices

    Each of the module 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.
  • Page 18 Use the following instructions to install a switch in the IBM Flex System chassis. You can install a switch while the IBM Flex System chassis is powered on. For redundancy support, you must install I/O modules of the same type in I/O bays 1 and 2, and I/O modules of the same type in bays 3 and 4 of the chassis.

  • Page 19: Removing Or Replacing A Switch

    IBM Flex System chassis, see the documentation that comes with the IBM Flex System chassis. Then, continue with the next step. 15. Make sure that the external ports on the switch are enabled through one of the management-module interfaces, such as the Web-based interface or the CLI.

  • Page 20: Cabling The Switch And The Sfp+ Module

    IBM Flex System chassis, see the documentation that comes with the IBM Flex System chassis. Then, continue with step 3. 3. Pull the release latches out from the switch. The switch moves out of the bay approximately 0.6 cm (0.25 inch).

  • Page 21: Disconnecting The Sfp+ Module Cable

    v When you attach the cable to a device on slide rails, leave enough slack in the cable so that it does not bend to a radius of less than 38 mm (1.5 in.) when the device is extended or become pinched when the device is retracted. v Route the cable away from places where it can be snagged by other devices in the rack.

  • Page 22: Disconnecting The Rj-45 Cable

    Use minimal pressure when you insert the module into the port. Forcing the module into the port can cause damage to the module or the module port. v You can insert or remove the module while the IBM Flex System chassis is turned on.

    (LINK) and activity (TX/RX) LEDs indicate the status of the external ports. . Notes: v A yellow LED on the IBM Flex System chassis is lit when a system error or event has occurred. To identify the error or event, check the IBM Flex System management-module event log or the switch system log.

  • Page 27: Port Status Leds

    Switch error (!) LED This yellow LED is at the bottom of the switch on the front panel. v When this LED is lit, it indicates a POST failure or critical alert. Note: When this LED is lit, the system-error LED on the IBM Flex System chassis is also lit.
  • Page 28 192.168.70.122, or 192.168.70.123, depending on the switch bay where it is installed. v If you change the IP address of the switch and restart the IBM Flex System chassis, the switch maintains this new IP address as its default value.

  • Page 29: Establishing A Tcp/Ip Session Through The Management Module

    Establishing a TCP/IP session through the management module To establish a TCP/IP session for the switch through the management module, complete the following steps: 1. Log on to the management module as described in the User’s Guide or Command Line Interface Reference Guide for your advanced management module. If necessary, obtain the IP address of the management module from your system administrator.

  • Page 33: Chapter 3. Updating The Firmware And Licensing

    Determining the level of switch firmware After you install the switch in the IBM Flex System chassis, make sure that the latest firmware is installed on the switch. To determine the level of the firmware that is installed, complete the following steps: 1.

  • Page 34: Resetting And Restarting The Switch

    all three network entities (TFTP server, management module, and switch IP addresses) are on the same subnet. Otherwise, you must use a router and configure a gateway address on the switch. Use the management-module interface to configure the IP addresses of the management module external interface (eth0) and the switch so that they are both on the same subnet as the TFTP server.
