Installation guidelines
Before you install the switch in the IBM Flex System chassis, read the following
information:
vRead the safety information that begins on page v, “Handling static-sensitive
devices” on page 6, and the safety statements in the IBM Flex System chassis
documentation. This information provides a safe working environment.
vObserve good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed
covers and other parts in a safe place.
vBlue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component
to remove it from or install it in the compute node or IBM Flex System chassis,
open or close a latch, and so on.
vOrange on a component or an orange label on or near a component on the
switch, compute node, or IBM Flex System chassis indicates that the component
can be hot-swapped, which means that if the IBM Flex System chassis and
operating system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the
component while the IBM 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.
vYou do not have to turn off the IBM Flex System chassis to install or replace any
of the hot-swap modules on the front or rear of the IBM Flex System chassis.
vWhen you install the switch in the IBM Flex System chassis, you must also install
a compatible I/O network adapter in the compute node to support the switch.
vWhen you are finished working on the compute node or IBM Flex System
chassis, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.
vFor a list of supported optional devices for the IBM Flex System chassis and
other IBM products, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/
compat/us/.
System reliability guidelines
To help ensure proper cooling, performance, and system reliability, make sure that
the following requirements are met:
vEach of the bays on the rear of the IBM Flex System chassis contains either a
module or a filler module.
vA removed hot-swap module is replaced with an identical module or filler module
within 1 minute of removal.
vA removed hot-swap compute node is replaced with another compute node or
filler node within 1 minute of removal.
