System components. Additional details can be found in the Site Prep Guide at the IBM
Private Cloud for Data site.
The switch includes a fresh air duct kit that directs cold air from the front of the rack to
the power supply side inlets. The preferred method of mounting gangs two identical
switches together in the same 2U duct assembly as shown in the 1G Switch Stacked
Installation Procedure.
DO NOT BLOCK ANY INLET OR EXHAUST DUCTS, VENTS OR PORTS. Blocked
cooling access will adversely affect the performance of your Cloud Pak for Data
System and may void your warranty.
Power can be supplied by the available IBM Cloud Pak for Data System PDUs and line
cords or by customer supplied PDUs meeting the power requirements of the Cloud Pak
for Data System components.
If this is a customer install, IBM installation services will wire and power the system
once all racks, power and components are in place.
The front panel of the switch provides the following components:
 LEDs that display the status of the switch and the network
 One mini USB RS-232 console port that provides another means to configure the
switch module
 Up to forty-eight 10/100/1000BASE-T ports
 4 x 10G SFP+ uplink ports
The rear panel of the switch provides the following components:
 Two redundant hot-swap power supplies (1x IEC 320 C14 connector on each
power supply)
 Fresh air duct to pull cold air in from the front of the rack when installed in the
rear.
This switch provides the 1G management connections for the Cloud Pak for Data

Notes:
[1] The power supplies automatically accept any voltage within the 200-240 V AC,
50/60 Hz rated-voltage range. If dual power supplies are installed and operating, the
power supplies draw approximately equal current from the utility (electrical supply) and
provide approximately equal current to the load.
[2] Power draw and heat load vary greatly by configuration and work load. When you
plan for an electrical system, it is important to use the maximum values but actual power
and cooling will be less.
