Mellanox Technologies
2 Introduction
Mellanox Spectrum® based 1U switch systems are an ideal spine and Top of Rack (ToR) solution, allowing maximum flexibility, with
port speeds spanning from 10Gb/s to 100Gb/s per port, and port density that enables full rack connectivity to any server at any speed.
The uplink ports allow a variety of blocking ratios that suit any application requirement. Powered by the Mellanox Spectrum ASIC,
the systems carry whopping switching and processing capacities in a compact 1U form factor.
Keeping with the Mellanox tradition of setting performance record switch systems, the Mellanox Spectrum-based systems introduce
the world’s lowest latency for 100GbE switching and routing elements, and do so while having the lowest power consumption in the
market. They enable the use of 10, 25, 40, 50 and 100GbE in a large scale without changing power infrastructure facilities.
The Mellanox Spectrum-based 1U switch systems are a part of Mellanox’s complete end-to-end solution, which provides 10GbE
through 100GbE interconnectivity within the data center. Other devices in this solution include ConnectX®-4 based network interface
cards, and LinkX® copper or fiber cabling/transceivers. This end-to-end solution is topped with NEO, a management application that
relieves some of the major obstacles standing in the way when deploying a network. NEO enables a fully certified and interoperable
design, speeds up time to service and RoI. The systems introduce hardware capabilities for multiple tunneling protocols that enable
increased reachability and scalability for today’s data centers. Implementing MPLS, NVGRE and VXLAN tunneling encapsulations in
the network layer of the data center allows more flexibility for terminating a tunnel by the network, in addition to termination on the
server endpoint.
While Mellanox Spectrum provides the thrust and acceleration that powers the switch systems, they get yet another angle of
capabilities, running with a powerful x86-based processor, which allows them to not only be the highest performing switch fabric
elements, but also grants them the ability to incorporate a Linux running server into the same device. This opens up multiple
application aspects of utilizing the high CPU processing power and the best switching fabric, to create a powerful machine with
unique appliance capabilities that can improve numerous network implementation paradigms. The Mellanox Spectrum-based 1U
switch systems support the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) for zero touch installations of network operating systems.
While all Ethernet systems can be purchased preloaded with Mellanox Onyx (MLNX-OS), the SN2000 switches (in both the 100GbE
and the 40GbE versions) are offered, in addition, with Cumulus Linux support, as an alternative operating system. For a full list of all
available ordering options, see Ordering Information.

3.14 FRU Replacements
The following information does not apply to the SN2100/SN2010 series. The SN2100/SN2010 systems include two non-
replaceable power supply units and four non-replaceable fan units.
3.14.1 Power Supply
Mellanox systems that are equipped with two replaceable power supply units work in a redundant configuration. Either unit may be
extracted without bringing down the system.
Make sure that the power supply unit that you are NOT replacing is showing green for the power supply unit LED.
Power supply units have directional air flows similar to the fan module. The fan module airflow must coincide with the
airflow of all of the power supply units. If the power supply unit airflow direction is different from the fan module airflow
direction, the system’s internal temperature will be affected. For power supply unit air flow direction, refer to Air Flow.
To extract a power supply unit:
The power supply slots of SN2740 and SN2410 should not be left empty for more than 5 minutes.
1.
Remove the power cord from the power supply unit.

8.2 Thermal Threshold Definitions
Three thermal threshold definitions are measured by the Spectrum ASICs, and impact the overall switch system operation state as
follows:
•
Warning – 105°C: On managed systems only: When the ASIC device crosses the 100°C threshold, a Warning Threshold
message will be issued by the management software, indicating to system administration that the ASIC has crossed the
Warning threshold. Note that this temperature threshold does not require nor lead to any action by hardware (such as switch
shutdown).
•
Critical – 120°C: When the ASIC device crosses this temperature, the switch firmware will automatically shut down the
device.
•
Emergency – 130°C: In case the firmware fails to shut down the ASIC device upon crossing its Critical threshold, the device
will auto-shutdown upon crossing the Emergency (130°C) threshold.
For thermal threshold definitions in Cumulus Linux, see Configuring Net-SNMP Event Notification Traps in the Cumulus Networks
Help Center.

Notes:
a.
TFAULT is an open collector/drain output, which should be pulled up with a 4.7k-10k Ohms resistor on the host board
if intended for use. Pull up voltage should be between 2.0V to Vcc + 0.3V. A high output indicates a transmitter fault
caused by either the TX bias current or the TX output power exceeding the preset alarm thresholds. A low output
indicates normal operation. In the low state, the output is pulled to <0.8V.
b.
Laser output disabled on TDIS >2.0V or open, enabled on TDIS <0.8V
c.
Should be pulled up with 4.7kΩ-10kΩ on host board to a voltage between 2.0V and 3.6V. MOD_ABS pulls line low to
indicate module is plugged in.
d.
LOS is open collector output. Should be pulled up with 4.7kΩ-10kΩ on host board to a voltage between 2.0V and 3.6V.
Logic 0 indicates normal operation; logic 1 indicates loss of signal.
8.3.3 RJ45 to DB9 Harness Pinout
The RS232 harness cable (DB9 to RJ45) is provided within the package to connect a host PC to the system's Console RJ45 port.
