Preface—Intel® Omni-Path Fabric

Preface

This manual is part of the documentation set for the Intel® Omni-Path Fabric (Intel OP Fabric), which is an end-to-end solution consisting of Intel® Omni-Path Host Fabric Interfaces (HFIs), Intel® Omni-Path switches, and fabric management and development tools.
The Intel® OP Fabric delivers the next generation, High-Performance Computing (HPC) network solution that is designed to cost-effectively meet the growth, density, and reliability requirements of large-scale HPC clusters.
Both the Intel® OP Fabric and standard InfiniBand* (IB) are able to send Internet Protocol (IP) traffic over the fabric, or IPoFabric. In this document, however, it may also be referred to as IP over IB or IPoIB. From a software point of view, IPoFabric behaves the same way as IPoIB, and in fact uses an ib_ipoib driver to send IP traffic over the ib0/ib1 ports.

Intended Audience

The intended audience for the Intel® Omni-Path (Intel® OP) document set is network administrators and other qualified personnel.

Laser Safety Information

This product may use Class 1 laser optical transceivers to communicate over the fiber optic conductors. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) does not consider Class 1 lasers to be hazardous. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 825 Laser Safety Standard requires labeling in English, German, Finnish, and French stating that the product uses Class 1 lasers. Because it is impractical to label the transceivers, the following label is provided in this manual.

Electrostatic Discharge Sensitivity (ESDS) Precautions

The assemblies used in the switch chassis are ESD sensitive. Observe ESD handling procedures when handling any assembly used in the switch chassis.

2.0 Installation

This section describes how to install and configure for first-time use:
• The Intel® Omni-Path Fabric Series switches in a network environment.
Intel® Omni-Path Fabric—Installation
2.1

Planning the Installation

The Intel® Omni-Path switches are designed for installation in standard 19-inch equipment racks.
Racks should conform to conventional standards. Use the 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 chassis
NOTE
Operation is subject to the following conditions:
NOTE
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.
NOTE
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.
2.1.1
2.1.1.1
Intel® Omni-Path Fabric Switches Hardware Installation Guide June 2019 28 Doc. No.: H76456, Rev.: 10.0

Cable Requirements

Cable Distances
When planning the location of the switches, consider the distance limitations for signaling, EMI, and connector compatibility. It is recommended that the user does not exceed specified transmission rate and distance limits.
NOTE
When connecting the outer ports of two (2) 48-port Edge switches (highlighted green in Figure 1 below), make certain to use active optical cables (AOC) for distances greater than 2 meters.
