High Performance Computing 10 Gigabit Ethernet Solutions

An integral component of an HP 10 Gigabit Ethernet solution is the Voltaire 8500 switch. The

Voltaire 8500 switch might have leaf boards, power supply units, fan modules, management

modules, and other field swappable devices to use, manage, and service the switch.

The HP 10 Gigabit Ethernet network also includes the HCAs (host channel adapters). The HCAs

have two form factors: one with standard PCI form factor for HP ProLiant DL and SL servers, and

another with the mezzanine form factor for HP ProLiant BL server blades. The components that

contain PCI or HCA cards are visible and manageable parts of your HP 10 Gigabit Ethernet

network. An HP 10 Gigabit Ethernet HCA can be a single-port or dual-port PCI card or HP

BladeSystem InfiniBand mezzanine HCA.

This document contains links to the documentation that describe the Voltaire 8500 switch.
