Installation and safety considerations
The Brocade 5450 Embedded Switch Module is designed to work in I/O bays 3 through 6 of the
BX900 Blade Server chassis. Refer to the PRIMERGY BX900 S1 Basic Unit Operating Manual and
make sure to comply with installation requirements.
Installing multiple switches
Each Embedded Switch Module must be assigned a unique Ethernet IP address during
configuration. Once the default Ethernet IP address on the 8 Gb SAN Switch has been changed,
you may install additional Embedded Switch Modules in the chassis.
If you do not have a DHCP server, install and configure one Embedded Switch Module at a time.
This is required so that Ethernet IP address conflicts do not occur with duplicate default Ethernet IP
addresses.
Refer to the PRIMERGY BX900 S1 Basic Unit Operating Manual for help identifying your specific
enclosure setup, available connections, and power requirements.
