Switch Overview

The switch is a complete access switching and I/O platform designed to consolidate and
virtualize the switching infrastructure for server and storage systems deployed in high­performance enterprise clouds.

Switch Overview

The virtualization switch can be configured many ways through I/O modules appropriate for
your data center. Through I/O modules, the switch can support up to 48 4x IB ports, 24 16Gb
FC ports, 48 10GBASE-T ports, 48 40G Ethernet ports, or a mixture of these ports to provide
network and gateway capabilities.

Additionally, the switch has a dedicated port block, which also supports limited customization.
Through the port block, the switch supports 4 12x IB ports, 4 1GBASE-T ports, and 2 4x
IB/40GbE combination ports provide both network and gateway capabilities.

■

If you configure the 2 4x IB/40GbE ports for IB, then the switch can support a maximum of
50 4x IB ports.

Understanding the Switch 13

Front Panel Components

■

For more information, see “Rear Panel Components” on page 15.

Separate, dedicated, and optimized on-board SP, ABD, and SCP manage chassis functionality,
Ethernet traffic, and IB fabric respectively, through user-friendly CLIs and web interfaces.

The virtualization switch ships preconfigured for network management through DHCP.
However, the procedures in this document are serial management focused, with instructions to
configure static IP addresses if desired.

Airflow Precautions

Caution - Proper airflow is essential for keeping the switch's internal temperatures within a safe

operating range.

Air flows from the front (fan end) of the switch to the rear (connector end) of the switch.

Airflow Precautions

Follow these guidelines to ensure unrestricted airflow in the switch:

■

Install the switch so that the front faces the cool aisle and the rear faces the warm aisle.

■

Do not direct warm air into the switch.

■

Prevent recirculation of air within a rack or cabinet.

■

Ensure that either a module or a filler panel is in place while the switch is operating.

■

Route cables so that they do not interfere with airflow.

Rack Precautions

Caution - Equipment Loading. Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom to the

top so that the rack does not become top heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack's anti-tilt legs to
prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation.

Caution - Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature. If the switch is installed in a closed

or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might
be greater than the room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment only in an
environment compatible with the ambient temperature specified for the switch.

Caution - Reduced Air Flow. Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow is

adequate for the safe operation of the equipment.

Caution - Mechanical Loading. Mount the equipment in the rack so that the weight is

distributed evenly. A hazardous condition can exist with uneven mechanical loading.

20 Oracle Fabric Interconnect F2-12 Installation Guide • November 2016

Rack Precautions

Caution - Circuit Overloading. Do not overload the power supply circuits. Before connecting

the switch to the supply circuit, review the equipment nameplate power ratings and consider the
effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

Caution - Reliable Grounding. Maintain reliable grounding of rackmounted equipment. Give

particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for
example, use of power strips).

Chassis Cable Requirements

Minimal functionality of the switch requires this cabling:

Connecting Cables 51

I/O Module Cable Requirements

■

Management console – The management console is the physical medium that the
administrator uses to interact with the SP. There are two ways of making this connection:

■

Network Management – Network management permits you to use your existing
management network to connect an RJ-45 cable to any one of the four connectors on
the left rear of the switch. This is the preferred means of connecting to the SP, because
it gives you the flexibility to use any host on the management network to interact with
the SP and the Oracle ILOM web interface. To improve security, a VLAN ID can be
configured for the SP.

■

Serial management – A serial device, such as a TIP connection, a serial terminal, or a
terminal server, is cabled to the SER MGT port on the front of the switch. An advantage
of serial management with a dedicated serial terminal is that the connection is more
secure than through network management. Because of the nature of the serial signal,
a serial management cable cannot be used reliably if it is more than 30 feet (9 meters)
long.

■

Power supplies – Country-specific power cords shipped with the switch supply facility
power to the switch from power distribution units inside of the rack.

■

RJ-45 Ethernet ports – These 4 ports provide switched 1GBASE-T functionality through
CAT 6 rated cabling.

■

PrizmMT ports - Four ports require PrizmMT 12x IB cables, and two ports require
PrizmMT 4x cables.

Standard MT and PrizmMT Cables

Even though PrizmMT and standard MT optical fiber cables look similar, they are not.
PrizmMT cables use clear plastic ferrules that have lenses to focus the laser light across
the connection air gap. Standard MT cables rely upon physical contact of fiber tips at
each connection. Standard MT and Prizm MT cables have some considerations regarding
storage, handling, and connecting to devices. See “Standard MT and PrizmMT Cable

Precautions” on page 55.

Caution - Connecting an PrizmMT cable to a standard MT receptacle, such as on a QSFP

transceiver damages the PrizmMT ferrule and renders the cable unusable.

To help distinguish between PrizmMT and Standard MT cables, PrizmMT cables are identified
with certain features. The features are ferrule, housing color, and alignment method and fiber
spacing.

Standard MT and PrizmMT Cable Precautions

Standard MT and PrizmMT Cable Precautions

Be aware of the following considerations for storing, connecting, and removing standard MT
and PrizmMT cables:

■

Whenever cables are not in use, put a dust cap on each end to prevent dust and debris from
accumulating.

■

Before connecting the cable:

■

Clean every connection, both sides, every time the connection is to be mated. Even
when the dust caps are in place, dust or debris may have been inside the dust cap from a
prior use, then transfer onto the ferrule.

■

Check the keying of the connector and the keying of the port. The raised rectangular
feature on the housing gives you a visual indication of how the cable and port will mate.

■

Check for a white dot on the cable housing to help you determine how the cable should
be inserted into the port. For any vertical receptacle, the white dot must be facing down.

■

When connecting a cable:

■

Do not attempt to defeat the internal shutters on the ports because you can possibly
damage the cable's ferrule.

■

Ensure the tip of the ferrule does not forcefully contact the edges of the ports or your
risk damaging the equipment. Instead, carefully insert the tip of the ferrule into the
center of the port.

Connecting Cables 55

General Cable Precautions

■

When removing a cable, the connector can unlatch from the port only by pulling on the
colored cable housing. By pulling on the cable and not the housing, you risk pulling the
cable out of the housing.

■

For additional cable handling precautions, see “General Cable Precautions” on page 56.

General Cable Precautions

To prevent data cable damage, you must follow these cautions.

Do not uncoil the cable, as a kink might
occur. Hold the coil closed as you unroll
the cable, pausing to allow the cable to
relax as it is unrolled.

Do not pull the cable out of the shipping
box, through any opening, or around any
corners. Unroll the cable as you lay it
down and move it through turns.

Do not step on the cable or connectors.
Plan cable paths away from foot traffic or
rolling loads.

Do not bend the cables to a radius tighter
than 85 mm (3.4 inches). Ensure that
cable turns are as wide as possible.

56 Oracle Fabric Interconnect F2-12 Installation Guide • November 2016

General Cable Precautions

Do not twist the cable to open a kink. If it
is not severe, open the kink by unlooping
the cable.

Do not straighten the cable to correct a
bend that is too tight. Leave the cable
bend as is.

Do not drop the cable or connectors from
any height. Gently set the cable down,
resting the cable connectors on a stable
surface.

Do not drag the cable or its connectors
over any surface. Carry the entire cable to
and from the points of connection.

Do not pack the cable to fit a tight space.
Use an alternative cable route.

Do not hang the cable for a length
more than 2 meters (7 feet). Minimize
the hanging weight with intermediate
retention points.

Do not cinch the cable with hard fasteners
or cable ties. Use soft hook-and-loop
fastener for bundling and securing cables.

Do not force the cable connector into the
receptacle by pushing on the cable. Apply
connection or disconnection forces at the
connector only.
