Get an LB6, LB8 and LB9, complete the Quanta LB collection! Then you can start on the LY line...I have 2 of the LB4M already.. Just wondering if I need a LB6M as well?
I meant in your systems connecting to the switch... if you don't have 10Gig then the switch doesn't do you any good, right? You asked if you needed oneYes.. The LB4M has 2 10GB ports...
Lies! Anything with more blinky lights, no matter how useful it is, makes your rack better. If it has blinky lights, you need it.if you don't have 10Gig then the switch doesn't do you any good, right?
I'm thinking about that, too. Obvious possibilities:Any ideas on how to incorporate the LB6M with the 2 LBM4?
Although, it may be the case that someone will get lucky. I remember with LB4Ms not everyone had the same firmware versions. There are definitely ways to dump the flash from these if they are anything like Quanta's other switches.It can be with the right firmware - but the firmware on the ones that are available only has limited layer 3 capabilities. Finding other firmware loads is tough.
Transferring both image slots from LB6M to a TFTP Server goes the same way (it goes on LB4M):[...] There are definitely ways to dump the flash from these if they are anything like Quanta's other switches.

=> Any ideas how to get the U-boot from LB6M? ...and how to push it on a LB4M?That U-boot image may be useful for LB4M...
Bonus points if the lights dim when you turn it on.Lies! Anything with more blinky lights, no matter how useful it is, makes your rack better. If it has blinky lights, you need it.
Did you happen to take any other pictures while you had it open? Curious to see the fan locations and available real estate.When you open them up you can tell where they were able to get so many from

Each of the 2 I ordered came with 2 bonus SFP+'s as well, and they were packed ans shipped quick.
The layout is practically identical to the LB4M layout inside. There are 3 rear fans and dual hotswappable powersupplies in the rear.Did you happen to take any other pictures while you had it open? Curious to see the fan locations and available real estate.
Cheers! I'm interested in the switch but not interested in 60 db of noise. I've had great success with swapping out fans in the past, trying to see if I can get away with it here as well.The layout is practically identical to the LB4M layout inside.
