To enable the switch to communicate with a compute node, at least one switch

must be installed in the Flex System chassis. For details about network adapter

installation, configuration, and use, see the documentation that comes with the

network adapter.

Installing a second switch enables a redundant path and a separate connection

from the compute node to the external Ethernet network.

The Flex System chassis supports a maximum of four Flex System EN2092 1Gb

Ethernet Scalable Switch Modules. Depending on the type of Flex System chassis

that you are using, the Flex System chassis supports a maximum of 10 or 14
