144 IBM NeXtScale System Planning and Implementation Guide
Table 5-11 Ethernet switches
The IBM System Networking Recessed 19-inch, 4-Post Rail Kit (00CG089)
locates the front of the switch 75 mm behind the front posts of the rack to provide
more cable bend radius. The rail kit is recommended for mounting 1U switches in
racks with NeXtScale chassis.
As part of the Intelligent Cluster program, there are other equipment
manufacturer (OEM) switches (which are listed in Table 5-12) that can be
ordered from IBM. These switches are covered under the same warranty or
maintenance agreement as the rest of the Intelligent Cluster.
