This Installation Guide provides information about the Lenovo RackSwitch Lenovo
ThinkSystem NE10032O RackSwitch (referred to as NE10032O throughout this
document).
The NE10032O uses a wire‐speed, non‐blocking switching fabric that provides
simultaneous wire‐speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports.
The NE10032O contains the following ethernet ports:
Thirty‐two 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Quad Small Form Pluggable 28 (QSFP28)
ports, which also support legacy 100/40 GbE connections
The QSFP28 ports accept approved QSFP28 transceivers. The QSFP28 optical
transceiver provides an MTP cable connector for connecting to external ports.
The NE10032O 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 NE10032O uses redundant, hot‐swap power supply
modules and six hot‐swap fan modules. Module options are available for
rear‐to‐front airflow.
You can manage the switch through the local console port, or through a remote
network connection.
