Introduction
1-1 Overview
The Superblade Network Modules User’s Manual contains information on all network
modules used for the Supermicro SuperBlade system. This incorporates information on
the InfiniBand module, all switch modules and all pass-through modules.
1-2 Product Checklist of Typical Components
All modules are shipped alone or with a SuperBlade enclosure when ordered. Aside
from packaging, no cables or cords are included.
1-3 Features
See Chapter 4: "InfiniBand Module" on page 4-1 for information and features of the
InfiniBand module. See Chapter 5: "Ethernet Switches Modules" on page 5-1 for
information on all switches and pass-through modules.

Chapter 2
System Safety
System safety precautions and information is included in this chapter. Please review this
information before installing or using your Supermicro equipment.
2-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and
the SuperBlade from damage:
• Be aware of how to power on/off the enclosure power supplies and the individual
blades as well as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or
electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power
from the system.
• Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
• Power should always be disconnected from the blade module when removing or
installing such system components as the mainboard, memory modules and
processors.
• When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar
with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if necessary.
• Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to
avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme
caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components
or circuit boards they come into contact with.
• Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection from
electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as
electrical insulators.
• The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be plugged
into grounded electrical outlets. Power input requires 110-240 V AC, depending upon
your power supply module.
• Mainboard Battery: This battery must be replaced only with the same or an
equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer (CR2032 Lithium 3V battery).
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING: There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed
upside down, which will reverse its polarities.
• Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Temperature
Coefficient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service technicians
only. The new fuse must be the sa me or equivalent as the one replaced. Contact
technical support for details and support.

2-2 General Safety Precautions
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
• Keep the area around the SuperBlade clean and free of clutter.
• Place the blade module cover and any system components that have been removed
away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be stepped on.
• While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and
unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be
pulled into a cooling fan.
• Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal
conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with
printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.
• After accessing the inside of the system, replace the blade module's cover before
installing it back into the blade enclosure.
2-3 Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical
charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to
neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic components and printed circuit
boards.
The following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before
contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until
ready for use.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
• Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may
retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the mainboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure the blade enclosure provides excellent
conductivity between the power supplies, the blade modules and the mainboard.
2-4 Operating Precautions
Care must be taken to assure that the cover of the blade unit is in place when the blade
is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the blade can occur if
this practice is not strictly followed.
Any drive carrier without a hard drive installed must remain fully installed in the drive bay
when the blade module is operating to ensure proper airflow.

Chapter 3
Setup and Installation
This chapter covers the setup and installation of the SuperBladeSuperBlade Ethernet
switch modules.
SuperMicro has two different Gigabit Ethernet switch modules for its SuperBlade
system. The first is the SBM-GEM-001 Gigabit Ethernet switch module with ten external
1-Gbps Ethernet uplinks. The second SBM-GEM-X2C 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet switch
module is a 1-Gbps Ethernet switch with three external 10-Gbps uplink and two external
1-Gbps Ethernet uplink ports. The following pages contain some installation instructions
that are common to both switches.
NOTE: The pass-through modules do not require any special setup or
configuration, just installation in their bays.
The SBM-GEM-002 Gigabit pass-through module uses the same single bays as
the Gigabit Ethernet switch modules, while the SBM-XEM-002 10-Gigabit
pass-through module requires a double-wide bay for its installation into the
SuperBlade enclosure. See the SuperBlade User’s Manual for details on
double-wide bay setup.
3-1 Installing/Removing a Switch Module
Follow the procedures below for installing or uninstalling any of the Gigabit Ethernet
switch modules into a SuperBlade system.
Installing a Switch Module
1. Make sure the cover to the module has been installed before proceeding. Follow the
anti-static precautions described in Chapter 2.
2. Remove the dummy cover from the bay you want to place the module in.
3. Place the module's release handle in the open position.
4. Slide the module into the module bay until it stops (see Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2).
