Sure, Peter.
We only have 6 SB7890 switches currently. All were purchased through Lenovo,
and all have Lenovo machine types of 0724-HD6. I don’t think this has much to
do with Lenovo, though, apart from reselling them. One of the four that failed
is actually a replacement for a physically damaged switch (bad port latch), so
that means there is even bad replacement inventory out there. All of the 4
aforementioned 00WE096Y switches have failed, 3 manufactured on 2018-11-28 and
1 manufactured on 2016-12-15. I don’t have an exact date for the first failure
or the switch installation, but the failure occurred roughly a year after the
manufacturing date. My guess is that they were in service for about 9-10
months, but I can probably narrow that down with a little more effort if it
matters.
The other two are FRU PN 00WE093/PN 00WE92Y (Lenovo MT 0724-HD5). So far so
good on those, though I’m now suspicious of the one manufactured on 2016-11-28.
Additionally, we have two SB7800 switches — FRU PN: 00WE085/PN 00WE084Y. Too
new to tell on those — only a few weeks in service. Both were manufactured on
2018-01-08.
