For convenience, once the NE2552E is installed and initialized, you can use the
show sys-info command in the switch firmware interface to display the product
serial number and other required information.
Before you install the switch in the Lenovo Flex System chassis, read the following
information:
Read the safety information that begins on page 5, "Handling Static‐Sensitive
Devices" on page
17, and the safety statements in the Lenovo Flex System
chassis documentation. This information provides a safe working environment.
Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed
covers and other parts in a safe place.
Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component
to remove it from or install it in the compute node or Lenovo Flex System
chassis, open or close a latch, and so on.
Orange on a component or an orange label on or near a component on the
switch, compute node, or Lenovo Flex System chassis indicates that the
component can be hot‐swapped, which means that if the Lenovo Flex System
chassis and operating system support hot‐swap capability, you can remove or
install the component while the Lenovo Flex System chassis is running. (Orange
can also indicate touch points on hot‐swap components.) See the instructions for
removing or installing a specific hot‐swap component for any additional
procedures that you might have to perform before you remove or install the
component.
You do not have to turn off the Lenovo Flex System chassis to install or replace
any of the hot‐swap modules on the front or rear of the Lenovo Flex System
chassis.
When you install the switch in the Lenovo Flex System chassis, you must also
install a compatible I/O network adapter in the compute node to support the
switch.
When you are finished working on the compute node or Lenovo Flex System
chassis, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.
