Acquiring Feature Licenses

© Copyright Lenovo 2016
The base option for SI4093 supports twenty-four total data ports (fourteen
compute node ports and ten uplink ports). Licenses are available that enable the
use of additional ports on the switch:
 Upgrade 1—This upgrade feature adds fourteen internal ports (15–28) and two
external 40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports (57 and 61). If ports EXT15 and EXT19
are configured for 10 GbE, then ports 57 through 64 are enabled.
Upgrade 2—This upgrade feature option adds fourteen internal ports (29–43)

and four external 10 GbE ports (53–56) to the Upgrade 1 feature.
Note: Upgrade 1 is a prerequisite to Upgrade 2.
Upgrade licenses are unique to each switch and are non transferable.
To acquire an upgrade license activation key, purchase the Authorization Code and
locate the unique ID (UID) on the switch serial number (SN) label (bottom or rear
of switch module). The UID is the last twelve characters of the switch serial
number. This serial number is located on the part number (PN) label (bottom or
rear of switch module) and is also displayed during a login to any of the user
interfaces. For example, SN (UID): Y250CM294998. For more information about
locating the switch identification labels, see
page 17.
In the event of the switch replacement, new activation key files based on the serial
number of the replacement unit must be acquired and installed. If the replacement
is handled through Lenovo Service and Support, your original Authorization Code
is transferred to the serial number of the replacement unit.
