The SI4093 can be deployed in an unmanaged or fully managed topology. As an unmanaged, plug-and-play device, the switch allows quick installation and start-up of the chassis server modules when it is attached to a preconfigured upstream top-of-rack switch.
Page 11
QSFP+ ports can be populated with optical QSFP+ modules or DACs, including some that accept SFP+ or SFP modules. In addition to port flexibility, you can manage and configure the SI4093 through the following interfaces: A Secure Shell (SSH) version 2 or Telnet connection to the embedded Command-Line Interface (CLI) ...
Documentation About this User’s Guide This User’s Guide provides information and instructions for installing the SI4093, updating the firmware, and solving problems. For other information about configuration and management of the switch, refer to the documents described in “Related Documentation” on page Note: ...
A Lenovo Flex System network adapter must be installed in each compute node with which you want to communicate. To enable the switch to communicate with a compute node, at least one switch must be installed in the Lenovo Flex System chassis. For details about network adapter installation, configuration, and use, see the documentation that comes with the Lenovo Flex System network adapter.
Page 16
Note: I/O bays 1 and 2 support any standard Lenovo Flex System switch or pass-thru module. When you install an I/O network adapter in the left-most fabric connector on the compute node, these I/O bays support any switch with the same type of network interface that is used by the corresponding network adapter.
Attention: Product information is required in order to register your SI4093, update its firmware, place a service call, or replace the unit. Some of the product information labels may be hidden from view once the SI4093 is installed. To prevent the need to remove the switch in order to read required...
You do not have to turn off the Lenovo Flex System chassis to install or replace any of the hot-swap modules on the front or rear of the Lenovo Flex System chassis.
System Reliability Guidelines To help ensure proper cooling, performance, and system reliability, make sure that the following requirements are met: Each of the bays on the rear of the Lenovo Flex System chassis contains either a module or a filler module.
4. If you have not already done so, touch the static-protective package that contains the switch to an unpainted metal surface of the Lenovo Flex System chassis or an unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack-component for at least 2 seconds.
Removing or Replacing the Switch Note: The following illustration shows how to remove and replace the switch from the Lenovo Flex System chassis. The appearance of your Lenovo Flex System chassis might be different; see the documentation for your Lenovo Flex System chassis for additional information.
To connect the RJ-45 connector to the switch, push the RJ-45 cable connector into the port connector until it clicks into place. Disconnecting RJ-45 Cables To disconnect the RJ-45 cable, squeeze the release tab and gently pull the cable connector out of the switch connector. SI4093 System Interconnect Module User’s Guide...
Use minimal pressure when you insert the module into the switch port. Forcing the module into the port can cause damage to the module or port. You can insert or remove the module while the Lenovo Flex System chassis is turned on. ...
2. If you have not already done so, touch the static-protective package that contains the SFP+ module to an unpainted metal surface of the Lenovo Flex System chassis or an unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack component in the rack in which you are installing the switch for at least 2 seconds.

CAT5 cable. This connector is identified as port EXTM in the I/O-module configuration menus and is labeled Mgmt on the switch. For additional details, see “Connecting Switch Ports” on page 23 “Port Status LEDs” on page SI4093 System Interconnect Module User’s Guide...
Notes: A yellow LED on the Lenovo Flex System chassis is lit when a system error or event has occurred. To identify the error or event, check the Lenovo Flex System management-module event log or the switch system log.
When lit, this LED indicates a POST failure or critical alert. As a result, the system-error LED on the Lenovo Flex System chassis is also lit. When this LED is off and the green Power LED is lit, it indicates that the switch is working correctly.
