The following inform ation 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.)

Subnet Manager

Every InfiniBand fabric subnet requires a single active Subnet Manager (SM) to initialize and maintain the subnet. The fabric may also have one or more standby Subnet Managers. One of the standby Subnet Managers can be configured to become the active SM in the event of a failure.

As Figure 1-2 shows, InfiniBand-enabled fabrics consist of one or more subnets. Each subnet consists of a number of InfiniBand-capable servers connected to target devices. InfiniBand-capable routers provide connectivity between InfiniBand subnets.

When a network is initially powered up, the Subnet Manager queries the subnet management agents running on the network devices, for information about node/port addressing schemes, routing tables and partitions. From that point on, the Subnet Manager periodically sweeps the network for changes. Once the InfiniBand network is up and running, the InfiniBand General Services Managers (GSMs) begin to interface with General Services Agents (GSAs).

Subnet Management Agents

A Subnet Management Agent processes management requests from the Subnet Manager. Subnet Management Agents are implemented on all nodes within the InfiniBand fabric. These nodes include IB-capable switches, routers, and channel adapters. Each node implements a Subnet Management Agent. Within the SFS 7012 Switch, a Subnet Management Agent (SMA) is implemented within its firmware.

OL-8787-04

An SMA also runs on every InfiniBand-capable server that is equipped with an HCA. As shown in Figure 1-3 the Subnet Manager interacts with these SMAs to discover information about the nodes on the fabric.

The Subnet Manager utilizes the agent information to discover and manage connections from the SFS 7012 to the InfiniBand fabric. The Subnet Manager maintains a database tracking subnet topology information as a result of its interaction with the SMAs.

InfiniBand General Services Managers and Agents

The InfiniBand specification defines the InfiniBand General Services Managers and their associated agents. General Services Managers exchange messages with agents to manage and monitor the performance and the physical environment of devices on the network.

Once the InfiniBand network is up and running, the InfiniBand General Services Managers begin to interface with General Services Agents. The General Services Managers and Agents include:

• Subnet Administration (SA)

SA provides InfiniBand fabric nodes with an interface to the Subnet Manager. This interface is used by the nodes on the fabric to interact with the Master Subnet Manager and to discover information about the fabric. Every InfiniBand fabric subnet requires a SA.

• The Device Manager (DM) and Device Management Agent (DMA)

SNMP Support

SNMP MIBs

The PM and PMA exchange messages about performance statistics and error information of InfiniBand devices on the fabric.

Built-in support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows users to integrate a SFS 7012 into their existing management frameworks. SNMP allows users access to all statistics, trend analysis, alarm handling, filtering, and performance monitoring capabilities supported by these management frameworks.

SNMP Management Information Bases (MIBs) are management elements that are used by industry frameworks to monitor information about the SFS 7012 switch. The SFS 7012 switch supports MIBs from the following sources:

• Switch-sourced MIBs: MIBs from the CMU of the SFS 7012 provide status information regarding

the physical environment of the switch. Additionally, the CMU MIBs provide status and activity information for all line cards residing in the switch.

Rack Specifications and Recommendations

The SFS 7012 switch is designed to be installed in an existing 19-inch equipment rack or server rack.

The SFS 7012 switch is designed for a four-post server cabinet. It is not designed for a two-post telco

cabinet.

Racks should conform to conventional standards. In the United States, use American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard ANSI/EIA-310-D-92, and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 297

• Racks should meet the following mechanical recommendations:

–

Four-post, 19" rack to facilitate easy maintenance

–

Universal mounting rail hole pattern identified in IEC Standard 297

–

Mounting holes flush with the rails to accommodate the switch

• Use a rack grounding kit and a ground conductor that is carried back to earth or to another suitable

building ground. Ground the equipment rack to earth ground.

• Provide enough room to work on the equipment. Clear the work site of any unnecessary materials.

Make sure the equipment will have enough clearance for front and rear access.

Chapter

Installing and Routing Cable

Note Building and electrical codes vary depending on the location. Comply with all code specifications when

planning the site and installing cable.

When running cables to the equipment, consider the following:

• Do not run cables where they can be stepped on or rolled over.

• Be sure cables are intact with no cuts, bends, or nicks.

• Provide proper strain relief for standard IB cables by adhering to the following guidelines:

Figure 2-2 Cable Bend Radii

Assembly 90-Degree Bend Radii

American Wire Gauge (AWG) Size Cable

24 5.20 inches

26 4.80 inches

28 4.70 inches

4X Bend Radius

• Temporary 90-degree bend can never be more than 0.5 inches tighter than the values listed above for

any assembly.

• This is the absolute minimum sustained bend radius for each 4X cable AWG size. This measurement

is the distance from the panel to the point where the cable makes a 90-degree bend. In other words, this number includes the 2" connector stand-off from the panel surface.

Cisco SFS 7012 InfiniBand Server Switch Hardware Users Guide

OL-8787-04

Chapter

Figure 2-3 Bend Radius Measurement Diagram

• Support cable using a cable manager mounted above connectors to avoid unnecessary weight on the

cable bundles.

• Bundle cables using velcro straps to avoid damaging cables.

• Keep all ports and connectors free of dust.

• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables can build up Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) charges when

being pulled into a new installation. Before installing category 5 UTP cables, discharge ESD from the cable by plugging it into a port on a system that is not powered on.

• When required for safety and fire rating requirements, plenum-rated cable can be used. Check the

local building codes to determine when it is appropriate to use plenum-rated cable, or refer to IEC standard 850.

Power Requirements

Power Supply

• The switch power supplies have a maximum power consumption requirement of 350W. Also ensure

that the site meets all power supply requirements.

• Before installation and periodically after installation, check that the site is receiving clean power.

Install a power conditioner if necessary.

• Be sure the site is properly grounded to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.

Uninterruptible Power Supply

Consider the following when selecting Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) equipment:

• The minimum amperage requirements for a UPS:

–

• Transition time (the time necessary for the UPS to transfer from utility power to full-load battery

power).

• The longest potential time period the UPS might be required to supply backup power.

• Whether or not the UPS unit also provides online protection.

Calculate VA (Volt-Amps): Locate the voltage and amperage requirements for each piece of equipment (usually located on a sticker on the back or bottom of the equipment). Multiply the numbers together to get VA.

Add the VA from each piece of equipment together to find the total VA requirement. Then add 30% to determine the minimum amperage requirements for the UPS.

Precautions for Rack-Mountable Products

Warning

Installing system components in a rack without the front and side stabilizers installed could cause the rack to tip over. Therefore, always install the stabilizers before installing components in the rack.

Warning

After installing system components in a rack never pull more than one component at one time out of the rack on its slide assemblies. The weight of more than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over.

Warning

Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in a rack.

The chassis, when fully populated with leaf modules, spine modules, power and fan supplies, is very heavy (approximately 100 lbs.). It is recommended that a lifting device be used to handle a fully loaded chassis.

Caution Always load the rack from the bottom up, loading the heaviest item first.

Caution Make sure the rack is level and stable before extending any component from the rack.

Note Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components of the rack.

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Caution Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

Caution Static electricity can harm delicate components inside the system. To prevent ESD damage, users need

discharge any static electricity from their bodies before touching any electronic components. Touching an unpainted metal surface will discharge static electricity.

Caution When transporting an ESD sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.

Step 2 Power up the SFS 7012.

Note If using the RS-232 port, skip to Step 6. Steps 3 through 5 are for those users accessing the SFS 7012

via Telnet or SSH.

Step 3 If using Telnet or SSH, access the SFS 7012 with the following command:

open 192.168.100.9

Step 4 The system prompts for a user name. In order to change the IP address and default gateway, the user

must be logged in as the administrator. At the prompt enter:

admin

Step 5 The system prompts for a password. At the prompt enter:

adminpass

The system responds with:

Welcome to the SFS 7012 CLI. Type 'list' for the list of commands.

Step 6 To change the SFS 7012 default IP address enter:

setChassisIpAddr -h ipaddress -m netMask

where -h ipaddress is the new IP address in dotted decimal (i.e., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) format, and -m netMask is the new subnet mask in dotted decimal (i.e., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) format.

Step 7 To change the SFS 7012 default gateway IP address enter:

setDefaultRoute -h ipaddress

where -h ipaddress is the new default gateway IP address in dotted decimal (i.e., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) format.

Step 8 To to exit the CLI enter:

Updating Management Spine IP Addresses in a Redundant Management Configuration

Note This procedure should be performed the first time the SFS 7012 is powered on. Additionally, it is

recommended to change the managed spine IP address for all available images (i.e., Image 1 and Image

2) when performing this procedure.

Each managed spine must have a unique IP address that is different than the chassis IP address of the SFS 7012. Therefore, a redundantly-managed SFS 7012 will have three (3) unique IP addresses. The current default IP addresses are:

–

Chassis: 192.168.0.9

–

Spine 1: 192.168.0.10

–

Spine 2: 192.168.0.11

It is necessary for each managed spine to have a unique IP address for the following reasons:

• Unique IP addresses are used when sending syslog messages from a managed spine to a syslog

server.

OL-8787-04

• Gives the user the ability to ping each management spine separately.

• If the IP addresses are not unique, collisions will occur, causing IP operations to fail.

To update the IP address on managed spine, do the following:

Cisco SFS 7012 InfiniBand Server Switch Hardware Users Guide

Chapter

Step 1 Ensure that the spine module is connected to a COM port on a serial terminal device via the RS-232 port.

Step 2 Get to a [boot]: prompt by following Step a or b.

a. If the managed spine is running, enter the following command at the console:

reboot

Then press Enter.

b. If the managed spine is not running, power on the switch.

Step 3 After selecting image1 or image2, press the Spacebar to interrupt the auto load sequence before the

counter expires (within 5 seconds).

Step 4 At the [boot]: prompt enter the new spine IP address with the following syntax:

spineip <NEW IP ADDRESS>

Then press Enter.

Step 5 At the [boot]: prompt, enter reboot, and press Enter. Upon reboot the managed spine will display

information similar to the following:

reboot now -m -n

where:

• now initiates the reboot process as soon as the user presses Enter (i.e., no system y/n prompt).

• -m reboots just the management card of the master spine. This is a non-disruptive reboot (i.e., the

reboot will not interfere with any switch traffic).

• -n reboots just the management card of the slave spine (in a non-disruptive manner).

Note If accessing the CLI through Telnet or SSH, the user will need to reconnect to the CLI following the

reboot.

Hot Swapping Components

Hot Swapping Spine and Leaf Modules

Note Following are the general guidelines for hot swapping leaf and spine modules:

Caution Be certain that the managed spine to be hot swapped is a that same firmware level as all other

components in the SFS 7012. A hot swap of a managed spine with another firmware level will cause a disruptive reboot (i.e., I/O traffic is interrupted).

• Hot swap one module at a time, allowing the chassis to completely update it before hot-swapping

the next module. The module update is complete when it becomes visible within the Chassis Viewer GUI. Listed below are the approximate times to fully update each module type:

–

Spines modules: up to 4 minutes

–

Leaf modules: up to 2 minutes

• When a management spine is hot swapped, the rest of the chassis will continue to move packets

without interruption.

• There is no need to reboot the chassis when replacing either a spine or leaf module.

OL-8787-04

Step 1 Remove the module by pushing up on the handles to disengage from the lock notch. Once the handles

are disengaged, gently pull the handles out and slide the module out of the slot.

Step 2 To install a module, hold it so that the ejector handles are on the bottom.

Step 3 Pull the handles out to extend them. Slide the module into the appropriate slot of the chassis until it

makes contact with the backplane. As the module seats in the chassis, the handles will begin to close.
