Lenovo ThinkSystem NE1072T RackSwitch
Product Guide
The Lenovo ThinkSystem NE1072T RackSwitch that uses 10GBASE-T and 40 Gb QSFP+ Ethernet
technology is specifically designed for the data center. It is ideal for today's big data, cloud, and enterprise
workload solutions. It is an enterprise class Layer 2 and Layer 3 full featured switch that delivers line-rate,
high-bandwidth switching, filtering, and traffic queuing without delaying data. Large data center-grade
buffers help keep traffic moving, while the hot-swap redundant power supplies and fans (along with
numerous high-availability features) help provide high availability for business sensitive traffic.
The NE1072T RackSwitch has 48x 1/10 Gb Ethernet (RJ-45) fixed ports and 6x QSFP+ ports that support
40 GbE optical transceivers, active optical cables (AOCs), and direct attach copper (DAC) cables. The
QSFP+ ports can also be split out into four 10 GbE ports by using QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ DAC or active
optical breakout cables.
The switch is ideal for latency sensitive applications, such as high-performance computing clusters and
financial applications.

software-defined Ethernet solution that is simple to manage and easy to deploy using common
management tools, and it enables support of automation and orchestration applications for tight
integration into the data center ecosystem.
The NE1072T RackSwitch supports the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) which is a small Linux-
based operating system that provides an open install environment for networking devices without
operating systems.
