Major components of the 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.
