1 Overview

The Mellanox M2401G 20Gb/s InfiniBand Switch Blade for Dell PowerEdge M1000e-series Blade

Enclosures provides a high bandwidth, low latency, low power fabric for Enterprise Data Center

and High-Performance Computing environments. Based on the third generation InfiniScale® III

InfiniBand switch device, the platform delivers an ideal balance between cost and performance.

When used in conjunction with ConnectX® InfiniBand dual port I/O cards clustered data bases,

parallelized applications and transactional services applications will achieve significant perfor-

mance improvements resulting in reduced completion time and lower cost per operation.

The switch platform comes pre-installed with all necessary firmware, and configured for standard

operation within an InfiniBand fabric, and requires an InfiniBand compliant Subnet Manager run-

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

tions 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 M2401G. 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 “Cluster Management and Firmware” on page 14. for more information.

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

tion and Basic Operation” on page 9.

The M2401G switch has a Hot Swap controller and a PSOC Management IC.

1.1 InfiniBand Connectors

InfiniBand connectivity has 8 microGiGa connectors through the front panel. The remaining 16

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

the front 8 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.

Figure 2: Physical and Logical Link Indication LEDs

1.2 Switch Status Lights

The switch Status lights indicate whether the switch is receiving power from the chassis, and the

state of the switch.

Figure 3: Indicator LEDs

LED Name Connection Status

Physical Link - Green Off – No Physical Link

ON – Physical Link

Data Activity - Yellow Blinking – indicates Data Transfer

Constant on – indicates Link exists

with no Data Transfer taking place

Off with green LED lit – indicates that

the Subnet Manager may not be

running

The I/O Module is on and

ready when both the blue and

green LEDs are lit.

This LED can be blue or

amber. A fault is indicated

when the amber LED is blink-

ing. See Table 3.

2 Installation and Basic Operation

Installation and initialization of the switch platform are straightforward processes, requiring atten-

tion to the normal mechanical, power, and thermal precautions for rack-mounted equipment. The

switch platform does not require any programming or configuration to operate as a basic Infini-

Band switch and includes all of the necessary functionality to operate with external standard Infini-

Band Subnet Management software.

This section describes the installation process and basic operation of the switch platform. Please

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

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

2.1 Installation Safety Warnings

1. Installation Instructions

2. Over-temperature

3. Stacking the Chassis

4. During Lightning - Electrical Hazard

5. Copper InfiniBand Cable Connecting/Disconnecting

6. Rack Mounting and Servicing

7. Equipment Installation

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: °C (°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.

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.
