90Y3477 IBM 40GB Ethernet Switch for Flex System Network Switch

IBM 90Y3477

The IBM 90Y3477 is a 40GbE blade switch from IBM, part of the Blade switch module, built for modular blade systems in the data center. The series is designed for blade chassis I/O switching.

It delivers 40GbE connectivity for fast, consistent data transfer. Switching sends each frame only where it needs to go, which keeps the network efficient. Labeling patch cables and documenting port assignments makes future moves, adds and changes much faster. Applying vendor firmware updates, where offered, is good practice for security and reliability. Everyday business communication depends on dependable switching between users, servers and the internet. Reserving specific ports for uplinks keeps your design clear as the network grows.

Switching inside the enclosure cuts cable count and simplifies server provisioning. Part number 90Y3477 identifies this exact hardware configuration for straightforward purchasing and asset tracking. Mount it where air can circulate freely to support long service life. Check compatibility with your blade enclosure model and I/O bay before ordering. It creates a tidy, central hub for all wired devices in the area it serves. A UPS on the network rack keeps connections alive through short power outages. Order the 90Y3477 today to add IBM 40GbE blade switching to your infrastructure.
