Chapter 1. ThinkSystem NE1032
This Installation Guide provides information about the Lenovo RackSwitch Lenovo
ThinkSystem NE1032 RackSwitch (referred to as NE1032 throughout this
document).
This
Installation Guide provides information about the Lenovo ThinkSystem NE1032
RackSwitch (referred to as NE1032 throughout this document).
The NE1032 uses a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric that provides
simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports.
Port Configuration
The NE1032 contains the following ethernet ports:
Thirty-two 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Small Form Pluggable Plus (SFP+) ports,
which also support legacy 1 GbE connections
Transceiver Configuration
SFP+ ports, when used in 10 GbE mode, can b e populated with optical transceiver
modules or active or passive Direct-Attach Cables (DACs). When used in legacy
1 GbE mode, the ports can be populated with optical or copper transceiver modules.
Orientation, Airflow, and Redundancy
The NE1032 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 NE1032 uses redundant, hot-swap power supply
modules and three hot-swap fan modules. Module options are available for either
front-to-rear airflow, or rear-to-front airflow.
Management
You can manage the switch through the local console port, or through a remote
network connection, or SNMP-based network management software.
Additional Features
Other features supported on your switch depend on the specific firmware installed.
For more information, see the
Application Guide and Command Reference for your
specific switch and its installed firmware.
