1.0 Introduction

This chapter describes the contents, intended audience, and organization of the Intel® Adapter Hardware Installation Guide.
The Intel adapters. The following adapters are covered in this guide:
• QLE7340 PCI Express
• QLE7342 PCI Express

1.1 Intended Audience

®
Adapter Hardware Installation Guide contains instructions for installing the
This installation guide is intended for administrators responsible for installing the Intel® QLE7340 or QLE7342 adapter in their Linux and instructions for administering an Intel Host Software User Guide.
The Intel
®
Adapter Hardware Installation Guide assumes that you are familiar with the
specific hardware that you plan to use. Before installing the adapter, you should have basic knowledge of your host and target operating systems.
This document does not contain all the information you need to use basic Linux commands or to perform all system administration tasks. For this information, see the software documentation you received with your system.

1.2 How this Guide is Organized

The Intel® Adapter Hardware Installation Guide is organized into these sections:
• Chapter 1.0, “Introduction”, contains an overview of the host channel adapters and software, describes interoperability with other products, lists all related documentation, and provides Intel contact information.
• Chapter 2.0, “Hardware Installation Checklist”, provides a high-level overview of the hardware installation procedures.
• Chapter 3.0, “Hardware Installation”, includes instructions for installing the Intel QLE7340, and QLE7342 adapters.

1.3 Overview

The material in this documentation pertains to an OFED+ cluster. A cluster is defined as a collection of nodes, each attached to an InfiniBand interconnect. The nodes are generally Linux processors/cores.
The Intel QLE7342 adapters have a raw data rate of 40Gbps.
The Intel interconnect is designed to work with all InfiniBand
®
adapters are InfiniBand* 4X. The Quad Data Rate (QDR) QLE7340 and
®
adapters utilize Intel® True Scale Fabric switches and cabling. The Intel

-compliant switches.
®
Note: If you are using the QLE7340 or QLE7342, and want to use QDR mode, then QDR-
capable switches must be used.
®
Intel
OFED+ Host Software is interoperable with other vendors’ host channel adapters running compatible OFED+ releases. There are several options for subnet management in your cluster:
