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. Air flows through the power supplies from the sides of the switch to out the front.
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.
After servicing the switch, ensure that the air duct assembly is properly installed.
Route cables so that they do not interfere with airflow.

Rack Compatibility
This switch and rackmounting hardware is designed for installation into a Sun Rack II or compatible rack or cabinet. The switch has a shorter form factor than Oracle rackmounted computing products. There is a gap between the rack front door and the switch front panel. To aid in proper airflow management and minimize air recirculation within the rack, install the air duct assembly at the front of the switch.

“Rack Precautions” on page 20

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 antitilt 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 Tma specified for the switch.
20 Oracle InfiniBand Switch IS2-46 Installation Guide • September 2016
Page 21
Rack Precautions
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.
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).
Caution - Do not use rack mounted equipment as a shelf or a work space.

Cable Requirements

Minimal functionality of the switch requires this cabling:
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:
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.
Network Management – Network management permits you to use your existing network to connect an SFP+ or RJ-45 cable to any connector on the 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 network to interact with the SP and the Oracle ILOM web interface. To improve security, a VLAN ID can be configured for the SP.
Power supplies – Shipped with the switch are country-specific power cords to supply facility power to the switch from power distribution units inside of the rack.
RJ-45 Ethernet ports – These 24 ports provide switched 1GBASE-T functionality through CAT 6 rated cabling.
SFP+ Ethernet ports – These 10 ports provide switched 10GbE functionality with either copper cables or optical fiber.
PrizmMT ports - These 30 ports provide switched 100 Gbps EDR IB functionality with special optical fiber cables.

Standard MT and PrizmMT Cables
While 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.
Caution - Connecting a PrizmMT cable to a standard MT receptacle, such as on a QSFP
transceiver, will damage the PrizmMT ferrule and render the cable unusable.
To help discriminate between PrizmMT and standard MT cables, PrizmMT cables are identified with certain features. The features are ferrule, housing color, alignment method, and fiber spacing.

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.
52 Oracle InfiniBand Switch IS2-46 Installation Guide • September 2016
Page 53
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.
