1 Overview

The Mellanox M3601Q 40Gb/s InfiniBand Switch Blade for Dell PowerEdge M1000e-series Blade

Enclosures provides a high bandwidth, low latency fabric for Enterprise Data Centers, High-Perfor-

mance Computing and Embedded environments. Based on the fourth generation InfiniScale® IV

InfiniBand switch device, this I/O module (IOM) delivers up to 40Gb/s full bisectional bandwidth

per port. When used in conjunction with ConnectX® InfiniBand dual port Mezzanine I/O cards,

clustered data bases, parallelized applications and transactional services applications will achieve

significant performance improvements resulting in reduced completion time and lower cost per

operation.

The I/O module comes pre-installed with all necessary firmware, and configured for standard oper-

ation within an InfiniBand fabric, and requires an InfiniBand compliant Subnet Manager running

from one of the hosts. All that is required for normal operation is to follow the usual precautions for

installation and connection from the switch to the HCAs or other switches. Once connected, the

Subnet Management software automatically configures and begins utilizing the switch.

It is recommended that Mellanox OpenFabrics software package be installed on all nodes con-

nected to the M3610Q. The software package provides a subnet manager and network management

tools as well as connectivity software for servers and storage, and is available on the Mellanox web

site. See Chapter 3 for more information.

Basic installation, hot-swapping components and hardware maintenance is covered in “Installation

and Basic Operation” on page 9.

The M3601Q switch has a Hot Swap controller and a PSOC Management IC.

Figure 1: Switch Front Panel and Locking Mechanism

1.1 InfiniBand Connectors

InfiniBand connectivity has 16 QSFP connectors through the front panel. The remaining 16 inter-

faces are through the AirMax Midplane Connector out the back of the switch. Figure 1 shows the

front 16 ports.

Each of the InfiniBand ports has two LEDs located next to the connector. The green LED, when lit,

indicates that a valid physical connection to the other system (switch or HCA port) exists. The yel-

low LED when lit, indicates that the Subnet Manager is running and a valid data link exists. The

yellow LED illuminates when the InfiniBand network is discovered over the physical link. A valid

data activity link without data transfer is designated by a constant yellow LED indication. A valid

data activity link with data transfer is designated by a blinking yellow LED indication. If the LEDs

are not active, either the physical link or the logical link (or both) connections have not been estab-

lished.

2Installation and Basic Operation

Installation and initialization of the I/O module are straightforward processes, requiring attention to

the normal mechanical, power, and thermal precautions for rack-mounted equipment. The I/O mod-

ule does not require any programming or configuration to operate as a basic InfiniBand switch and

includes all of the necessary functionality to operate with external standard InfiniBand Subnet

Management software.

This section describes the installation process and basic operation of the I/O module. Please first

read the warnings sub-section carefully before carrying on with installation procedures.

2.1 Installation Safety Warnings

1. Installation Instructions

2. Over-temperature

3. Stacking the Chassis

4. During Lightning - Electrical Hazard

Suitable electrical, mechanical and fire enclosure shall be provided by the end user.

Read all installation instructions before connecting the equipment to the power source.

This equipment should not be operated in an area with an ambient temperature exceed-

ing the maximum recommended: 40°C (104°F). Moreover, to guarantee proper air flow,

allow at least 8cm (3 inches) of clearance around the ventilation openings.

The chassis should not be stacked on any other equipment. If the chassis falls, it can

cause bodily injury and equipment damage.

During periods of lightning activity, do not work on the equipment or connect or discon-

nect cables.

9. Local and National Electrical Codes

Copper InfiniBand cables are heavy and not flexible, as such they should be carefully

attached to or detached from the connectors. Refer to the cable manufacturer for special

warnings and instructions.

When this product is mounted or serviced in a rack, special precautions must be taken to

ensure that the system remains stable. In general you should fill the rack with equipment

starting from the bottom to the top.

This equipment should be installed, replaced, or serviced only by trained and qualified

personnel.

Disposal of this equipment should be in accordance to all national laws and regulations.

This equipment should be installed in compliance with local and national electrical

codes.
