THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL
STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.
THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT
SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE
OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER WARRANTY HEREIN, ALL DOCUMENT FILES AND SOFTWARE OF THESE SUPPLIERS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITH
ALL FAULTS. CISCO AND THE ABOVE-NAMED SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT OR ARISING FROM A COURSE OF
DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE.
IN NO EVENT SHALL CISCO OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO DATA ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THIS MANUAL, EVEN IF CISCO
OR ITS SUPPLIERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and
S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require
product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides
recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service
request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests, or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone.
(S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.)
Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business
operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Preface
Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity
definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is “down” or there is a critical impact to your business operations.
You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your
business operations are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and
Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired while most business operations
remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service
to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or
configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.

System Features
Scalability
The embedded subnet manager running on the Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D Server Switches can
manage up to 1,152 hosts.
High Availability
High availability operates at the hardware, port, and fabric level. These features are described below.
Hardware
High availability at the hardware level means that the Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D Server Switches
feature hot-swappable redundant power and cooling.
Ports
High availability is supported at the ports level such that if any single InfiniBand port fails, none of the
other ports have interrupted service.
Chapter 1 Product Overview
Fabric
High availability is supported at the fabric level as well. For redundancy, InfiniBand HCAs can be
dual-connected to a redundant pair of switches.
When an InfiniBand fabric includes more than one Cisco SFS 7000P Server Switch or
Cisco SFS 7000D Server Switch, and the subnet manager fails on the Cisco SFS 7000P Server Switch
or the Cisco SFS 7000D Server Switch that is acting as the master, another subnet manager takes over
within seconds. (See Figure 1-3.)

Preparation for Installation
Planning a proper location for the Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D Server Switches and the proper
layout of your equipment rack is essential for successful system operation. This chapter describes how
to prepare your site for switch installation and contains these sections:
• Safety, page 2-1
• Site Requirements, page 2-1
• Power Requirements, page 2-5
• Site Preparation Checklist, page 2-6
Safety warnings appear throughout this document in procedures that may harm you if performed
incorrectly. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement. The warnings below are general
warnings that are applicable to the entire publication.
Warning
Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Statement 1030
This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be
accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security.
Statement 1017
Site Requirements
These sections describe some of the basic site requirements that you should be aware of as you prepare
to install your Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D Server Switches. Environmental factors can adversely
affect the performance and longevity of your system. Planning a proper location for the switch and layout
of your equipment rack or wiring closet is essential for successful system operation. You should install
the switch in an enclosed, secure area, ensuring that only qualified personnel have access to the switch
and control of the environment. Equipment that is placed too closely together or placed in inadequately
ventilated areas can cause system overtemperature conditions leading to premature component failures.
In addition, poor equipment placement can make chassis panels inaccessable and difficult to maintain.

Site Requirements
Temperature
Chapter 2 Preparation for Installation
The switch requires a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and air-conditioned environment. To ensure normal
operation, maintain ambient airflow. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the intake air is too
warm, an overtemperature condition can occur. The switch environmental monitor can then shut down
the system to protect the system components.
Multiple switches can be rack-mounted with little or no clearance above and below the chassis. However,
when mounting a switch in a rack with other equipment, or when placing it on the floor near other
equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the air intake vent of the
switch chassis.
Temperature extremes can cause a system to operate at reduced efficiency and cause a variety of
problems, including premature aging and failure of chips and failure of mechanical devices. Extreme
temperature fluctuations can cause chips to become loose in their sockets. Ensure that the system is
operating in an environment that does not exceed the specifications in Table A-1 on page A-1. Ensure
that the chassis has adequate ventilation. Do not place the chassis within a closed-in wall unit or on top
of cloth, which can act as insulation. Do not place it where it will receive direct sunlight, particularly in
the afternoon. Do not place it next to a heat source of any kind, including heating vents during winter.
Adequate ventilation is particularly important at high altitudes. Make sure that all slots and openings on
the system remain unobstructed, especially the fan vent on the chassis. Clean the installation site at
regular intervals to avoid buildup of dust and debris, which can cause a system to overheat. If the system
has been exposed to abnormally cold temperatures, allow a two-hour warm-up period to bring it up to
normal operating temperature before turning it on. Failure to do so can damage internal components.
Humidity
Altitude
High-humidity conditions can cause moisture migration and penetration into the system. This moisture
can cause corrosion of internal components and degradation of properties, such as electrical resistance,
thermal conductivity, physical strength, and size. Extreme moisture buildup inside the system can result
in electrical shorts, which can cause serious damage to the system. Ensure that the system is operating
in an environment that does not exceed the specifications in Table A-1 on page A-1.Buildings in which
climate is controlled by air-conditioning in the warmer months and by heat during the colder months
usually maintain an acceptable level of humidity for system equipment. However, if a system is located
in an unusually humid location, a dehumidifier can be used to maintain the humidity within an
acceptable range.
Operating a system at high altitude (low pressure) reduces the efficiency of forced and convection
cooling and can result in electrical problems related to arcing and corona effects. This condition can also
cause sealed components with internal pressure, such as electrolytic capacitors, to fail or perform at
reduced efficiency. Ensure that the system is operating in an environment that does not exceed the
specifications inTable A-1 on page A-1.

Chapter 2 Preparation for Installation
Dust and Particles
Exhaust fans cool power supplies and system fan trays cool systems by drawing in air and exhausting air
out through various openings in the chassis. However, fans also ingest dust and other particles, causing
contaminant buildup in the system and increased internal chassis temperature. A clean operating
environment can greatly reduce the negative effects of dust and other particles, which act as insulators
and interfere with the mechanical components in the system. In addition to regular cleaning, follow these
precautions to avoid contamination of your equipment:
• Do not permit smoking anywhere near the system.
• Do not permit food or drink near the system.
Corrosion
Corrosion of system connectors is a gradual process that can eventually lead to intermittent failures of
electrical circuits. The oil from a person’s fingers or prolonged exposure to high temperature or humidity
can corrode the gold-plated edge connectors and pin connectors on various components in the system.
To prevent corrosion, avoid touching contacts on boards and cards, and protect the system from extreme
temperatures and moist, salty environments.
Site Requirements
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference
EMI and RFI from a system can adversely affect devices such as radio and TV receivers operating near
the system. Radio frequencies emanating from a system can also interfere with cordless and low-power
telephones. Conversely, RFI from high-power telephones can cause spurious characters to appear on the
system monitor. RFI is defined as any EMI with a frequency above 10 kHz. This type of interference can
travel from the system to other devices through the power cable and power source or through the air like
transmitted radio waves. The FCC publishes specific regulations to limit the amount of EMI and RFI
emitted by computing equipment. Each system meets these FCC regulations. To reduce the possibility
of EMI and RFI, follow these guidelines:
• Operate the system only when the chassis cover is installed.
• Ensure that all expansion slots are covered either by a card-mounting bracket or by a metal filler
bracket and that all drive bays have either a drive or a metal insert installed.
• Ensure that the screws on all peripheral cable connectors are securely fastened to their
corresponding connectors on the back of the chassis.
• Always use shielded cables with metal connector shells for attaching peripherals to the system.
When wires are run for any significant distance in an electromagnetic field, interference can occur
between the field and the signals on the wires. This fact has two implications for the construction of plant
wiring:
• Bad wiring practice can result in radio interference emanating from the plant wiring.
• Strong EMI, especially when it is caused by lightning or radio transmitters, can destroy the signal
drivers and receivers in the chassis and even create an electrical hazard by conducting power surges
through lines into equipment.
OL-10853-01
NoteTo predict and remedy strong EMI, you might need to consult experts in RFI.
Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D InfiniBand Server Switches Hardware Installation Guide
2-3
Site Requirements
If you use twisted-pair cable in your plant wiring with sufficient distribution of grounding conductors,
the plant wiring is unlikely to emit radio interference. If you exceed the recommended distances, use a
high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data signal when applicable.
If the wires exceed the recommended distances or if wires pass between buildings, carefully consider the
effect of a lightning strike in your vicinity. The electromagnetic pulse caused by lightning or other
high-energy phenomena can easily couple enough energy into unshielded conductors to destroy
electronic devices. If you have had problems of this sort in the past, you may want to consult experts in
electrical surge suppression and shielding.
Shock and Vibration
Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D Server Switches have been shock- and vibration-tested for operating
ranges, handling, and office vibration and criteria, transportation vibration and criteria, and packaged
equipment shock. (See Table A-1 on page A-1.)
Power Source Interruptions
Chapter 2 Preparation for Installation
Systems are especially sensitive to variations in voltage supplied by the AC power source. Overvoltage,
undervoltage, and transients (or spikes) can erase data from memory or even cause components to fail.
To protect against these types of problems, power cables should be grounded properly. Also, place the
system on a dedicated power circuit (rather than sharing a circuit with other heavy electrical equipment).
In general, do not allow the system to share a circuit with any of the following:
• Copy machines
• Air conditioners
• Vacuum cleaners
• Space heaters
• Power tools
• Teletype machines
• Laser printers
• Facsimile machines
• Any other motorized equipment
Besides these appliances, the greatest threats to a system power supply are surges or blackouts that are
caused by electrical storms. Whenever possible, turn off the system and any peripherals, and unplug
them from their power sources during thunderstorms. If a blackout occurs—even a temporary
one—while the system is turned on, turn off the system immediately and disconnect it from the electrical
outlet. Leaving the system on may cause problems when the power is restored; all other appliances left
on in the area can create large voltage spikes that can damage the system.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
ESD damage, which can occur when modules or other FRUs are improperly handled, results in
intermittent or complete failures. Modules consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal
carriers. EMI shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier
helps to protect the circuit board from ESD, always use an ESD grounding strap when handling modules.

Power Requirements
Back
Follow these guidelines to ensure proper airflow:
• Maintain ambient airflow throughout the data center to ensure normal operation.
• If installing in an enclosed cabinet, ensure that the cabinet has adequate ventilation, and allow at
least 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) of clearance between the chassis vents and the cabinet wall.
• If placing the switch adjacent to a device that exhausts air towards the switch, the horizontal distance
between the devices should be a minimum of 6 inches (15.2 cm).
• Ensure that cables do not obstruct the airflow through the chassis.
• Consider heat dissipation of all equipment when determining the air-conditioning requirements, as
specified in the hardware installation guide. When evaluating airflow requirements, consider that
hot air generated by equipment at the bottom of the rack can be drawn into the intake ports of the
equipment above.
Power Requirements
Follow these requirements when preparing your site for the switch installation:
• In systems configured with two power supplies, connect each of the two power supplies to a separate
input power source. If you fail to do this, your system might be susceptible to total power failure
due to a fault in the external wiring or a tripped circuit breaker.
Front
181224
OL-10853-01
• To prevent a loss of input power, be sure that the total maximum load on each source circuit is within
the current ratings of the wiring and breakers.
• The AC power receptacles used to plug in the chassis must be the grounding type. The grounding
conductors that connect to the receptacles should connect to protective earth ground at the service
equipment.

Obtaining an IP Address
Obtaining an IP Address from the DHCP Server for Ethernet Management
This section describes how to obtain an IP address from the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server by default.
NoteDHCP is enabled by default in the Cisco SFS 7000D Server Switch. To obtain an IP address for the Cisco
SFS 7000P Server Switch, see “Obtaining a Static IP Address for Ethernet Management” section on
page 3-8.
To obtain an IP address using the default enabled DHCP, you must obtain the MAC address. The MAC
address is printed on a label on your Cisco SFS 7000D Server Switch in the following format:
AA:BB:CC:DD:EE.FF. (See the instructions in the “Rack-Mounting the Switch” section on page 3-3 for
when to make a note of the MAC address.) You must configure your DHCP server to the MAC address
before you attempt to obtain an IP address using DHCP.
OL-10853-01
Use the MAC address to configure your DHCP server to allocate an IP address of your choice to the
Cisco SFS 7000D Server Switch management interface. Otherwise, the DHCP server (if present)
allocates the first available IP address from the designated pool of addresses. In the latter case you can
Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D InfiniBand Server Switches Hardware Installation Guide

Configuring Basic Connectivity
find out which address was allocated by logging to the CLI on the serial console and using the show
interface mgmt-eth command. See the Cisco SFS 7000 Series Product Family Command Reference for
further details on using CLI commands.
Use the IP address, to Telnet to the Cisco SFS 7000D Server Switch.
Obtaining a Static IP Address for Ethernet Management
A Cisco SFS 7000P Server Switch user must configure a static IP Address for Ethernet Management. A
Cisco SFS 7000D Server Switch user can configure a static IP address and connect to a serial console
port only if a DHCP server is not available.
To configure a static IP address, you must connect the serial console port to a PC serial for access to the
server switch.
Before you configure the switch, ensure that the unit is connected properly. This section describes how
to attach a serial console cable to a PC. The serial console port, located on the rear panel of the
Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D Server Switches, is shown in Figure 3-7and Figure 3-8.
