IBM Flex System EN2092 User Manual 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.
To install a switch, complete the following steps:
10. Push the release levers on the front of the switch to the closed position. After

1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation
guidelines" on page 6.
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 and compute nodes.
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. If the removed filler module (from step 4) occupied two bays:
v Remove the single-high filler module from its static-protective package.
v Install the single-high filler module into the unused bay.
7. Remove the switch from its static-protective package.
8. Make sure that the release levers on the switch are in the open position
(perpendicular to the switch).
9. Slide the switch into the applicable I/O-module bay until it stops.
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.
Notes:
a. The switch takes approximately 60 seconds to complete the POST. When
the switch is turned on, an LED test occurs. All LEDs are lit and remain lit
during POST; then, all the LEDs except the OK LED turn off. This
indicates normal POST results.
