document).
This Installation Guide provides information about the Lenovo ThinkSystem NE2572
RackSwitch (referred to as NE2572 throughout this document).
The NE2572 uses a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric that provides
simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports.
The NE2572 contains the following ethernet ports:
Forty-eight 25 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Small Form Pluggable 28 (SFP28) ports

 Six 100 GbE Quad Small Form Pluggable 28 (QSFP28) ports, each of which can
optionally be used as four 10GbE SPF+ ports, or four 25GbE SPF28 ports, or two
50GbE QSPF28 ports, or one 40GbE QSPF+ port
QSFP+ ports can be populated with optical QSFP+ modules or passive Direct-Attach
Cables (DACs), including those that allow the port to be used as four 25 GbE SFP+
ports.
The NE2572 is 1U in height and can be mounted horizontally or vertically,
depending on your application. Mounting options are available for a variety of rack
systems.
For superior reliability, the NE2572 uses redundant, hot-swap power supply
modules and hot-swap fan modules. Module options are available for either
front-to-rear airflow, or rear-to-front airflow.
You can manage the switch through the local console port, or through a remote
network connection, or SNMP-based network management software.
Other features supported on your switch depend on the specific firmware installed.
For more information, see the Application Guide and Command Reference for your
specific switch and its installed firmware.
