1Overview

The SwitchX M4001F 56 Gb/s, and the M4001Q 40 Gb/s InfiniBand blade switch I/O module for the PowerEdge M-Series chassis provides a high bandwidth, low latency fabric for Enterprise Data Centers (EDC), High-Perf ormance Computing (HPC), and Embedded environments. Based on the
th
generation InfiniBand switch device (1st Generation SwitchX). This I/O module (IOM) deliv-
5 ers up to 56Gb/s at FDR speed and 40 Gb/s at QDR speed full bisectional bandwidth per port. When used in conju nct ion with ConnectX®-3 InfiniBand dual por t Me zz ani ne I/O cards, clustered data bases, parallelized applications and transactional services applications these switches will achieve significant performance improvements resulting in reduced completion time and lower cost per operation.
The I/O module comes pre-installed with all necessary firmware, and configured for standard operation within an InfiniBand fabric, and only requires an InfiniBand compliant Subnet Manager running from one of the hosts. All that is required for normal operation is to follow the usual pre cautions for installation and connection from the switch to the HCAs or other switches. Once con­nected, the Subnet Management software automatically configures the switch and begins utilizing the switch.
-
It is recommended that Mellanox OpenFabrics software package be installed on all nodes con­nected to the M4001[F, Q]. The software package provides a subnet manager and network man­agement tools as well as connectivity software for servers and storage, and is available on the Mellanox web site. See Chapter 3 for more information.
Basic installation, hot -swappi ng component s and hardware main tenanc e is cover ed in “Installation and Basic Operation” on page 11.
The M4001F and M4001Q switches have a Hot Swap controller and a PSOC Management IC.

2. On the new switch, push the red latch release button.
3. Pull the lever forward until the lever is perpendicular to the front panel.
4. Push the switch into the slot until the latching mechanism is against the bar.
5. Push the lever on the latching mechanism up, making sure that the latching mechanism catches the locking bar. The lever should now be parallel to the front panel.
6. Check the indicator lights to make sure the switch has power.
The rack mounting is designed to fit the PowerEdge Chassis. Take precautions to guar­antee proper ventilation for air intake at the front of the chassis and exhaust at the rear in order to maintain good airflow at ambient temperature. Cable routing in partic ular should not impede the air exhaust from the chassis.

2.3 Power Connections and Initial Power On

The I/O module will automat ically power up whe n AC power i s appli ed. Ther e is no power swi tch. Immediately upon closing the latching mechanism check to make sure that the green switch LED is lit.

2.4 InfiniBand Cable Installation

All cables can be inserted or removed with the unit powered on. To insert a cable, press the con­nector into the port receptacle until the connector is firmly seated. The green LED indicator accompanying each port will light when the physical connection is established (that is, when the unit is powered on and a cable is plugged into the port with the other end of the connector plugged into a functioning port). After plugging in a cable, lock the connector using the latching mecha nism particular to the cable vendor. The yellow LED will light if the subnet manager is running (non blinking indicating that no data is being transferred yet). When a logical connection is made the yellow LED will blink signifying data is being transferred.
