14 IBM PureFlex System and IBM Flex System Products and Technology

2.2.2 Top of rack Ethernet switch

If more than one chassis is configured then a top of rack Ethernet switch must be added to

the configuration. If only one chassis is configured, the switch is optional. Table 2-3 lists the

switch components for an Ethernet switch.

Table 2-3 Components of the top of rack Ethernet switch

2.2.3 Top of rack SAN switch

If more than one chassis is configured then a top of rack SAN switch must be added to the

configuration. If only one chassis is configured, the switch is optional. Table 2-4 lists the

switch components for a SAN switch.
