1 Preparing for Installation 1.1 Audience This document is intended for HP service representatives and other persons trained to install hardware options in HP BladeSystem configurations. Such persons are expected to understand the hazards of working in this environment and to take suitable precautions to minimize danger to themselves and others. 1.
For specific port connections for each server blade, see the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide. Connections differ by server blade type. The information contained in this document explains the cabling between the HP 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch and the network switches. The HP Onboard Administrator screen example (see Figure 1-2) is a reference for port mapping.
1.6 HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch LEDs Figure 1-4 shows the LEDs and Table 1-1 describes the LEDS in the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch.
2 Hardware Installation This chapter contains the following sections: • Installing the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch (Section 2.1) • Installing InfiniBand cables in the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch (Section 2.2) • Cable Management (Section 2.3) • InfiniBand subnet managerment (Section 2.4) 2.1 Installing the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch To install the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch, follow the steps in Section 2.1.1 and Section 2.1.2.
2.1.2 Install the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch into the HP BladeSystem Enclosure To install the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch into the HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosure, follow these steps: 1. 2. Slide the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch all the way into the HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosure (see callout 1 in Figure 2-2). Push the blade handle in until it is in the locked position (see callout 2 in Figure 2-2).
Note: InfiniBand cables with QSFP to CX4 connectors are required when the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch uplinks to an InfiniBand spine interconnect with CX4 connectors. Figure 2-3 QSFP InfiniBand DDR/QDR Cable 2 3 1 The following list describes the callouts shown in Figure 2-3: 1. InfiniBand cable 2. QSFP connector release pull tab 3.
