1 Preparing for Installation 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.
Additional Information Mezzanine card installation determines bay assignments for interconnect module installation.
Connectors Figure 3 shows the Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) connector ports and Table 1 describes the connectors on the front panel of the QLogic BLc 4X QDR InfiniBand Switch.
Preparing for Installation
2 Hardware Installation This chapter contains the following sections: • ”Installing an HP BLc QLogic 4X QDR InfiniBand Managed Switch” • ”Installing InfiniBand Cables in an HP BLc QLogic 4X QDR InfiniBand Managed Switch” • ”Removing an InfiniBand Cable from the HP BLc QLogic 4X QDR InfiniBand Managed Switch” • ”InfiniBand Subnet Management” Installing an HP BLc QLogic 4X QDR InfiniBand Managed Switch To install an HP BLc QLogic 4X QDR InfiniBand Managed Switch, follow the steps in the following subsectio
Installing an HP BLc QLogic 4X QDR InfiniBand Managed Switch into an HP BladeSystem Enclosure To install an HP BLc QLogic 4X QDR InfiniBand Managed Switch into an HP BladeSystem enclosure, follow these steps: 1. Slide the HP BLc QLogic 4X QDR InfiniBand Managed Switch all the way into the HP BladeSystem enclosure (see callout 1 in Figure 6). Figure 6 Installing an HP BLc QLogic 4X QDR InfiniBand Managed Switch into an HP BladeSystem Enclosure 2.
Figure 7 QSFP InfiniBand QDR/QDR Cable QSFP InfiniBand QDR/QDR Cable Table 3 Item Number NOTE: Description 1 InfiniBand cable 2 QSFP connector release pull tab 3 QSFP connector The InfiniBand cables are not included in this kit and must be purchased separately. When the HP BLc QLogic 4X QDR InfiniBand Managed Switches are connected together with the QSFP to QSFP InfiniBand cables it forms an InfiniBand high-performance network (also referred to as an InfiniBand fabric).
1. Align the InfiniBand cable QSFP connector (see callout 1 in Figure 8) with the HP BLc QLogic 4X QDR InfiniBand Managed Switch port (see callout 2 in Figure 8). Figure 8 Install InfiniBand Cable in an HP BLc QLogic 4X QDR InfiniBand Managed Switch Port 2. Insert the QSFP connector into the HP BLc QLogic 4X QDR InfiniBand Managed Switch port (see callout 1 in Figure 9) until it is fully engaged and locked.
The QLogic Fabric Manager is required for managing and troubleshooting an HP BLc QLogic 4X QDR InfiniBand Managed Switch. A subnet manager can be host-based (installed and run on a host node connected to the InfiniBand fabric). You can also use a switch-based subnet manager when certain managed switches are incorporated into the InfiniBand fabric. For more information about InfiniBand subnet management, see the InfiniBand interconnect documentation that came with your system or cluster.
