1 Introduction to Mellanox SX67X0 Systems

1.1 Overview

The SX67X0 systems provide the highest performing fabric solution in a 1U form factor by

delivering up to 4Tb/s of non-blocking bandwidth with 200ns port-to-port latency.

These systems are the industry's most cost-effective

building blocks for embedded systems and

storage with a need for low port density systems. Whether looking at price-to-performance or

energy-to-performance, these systems offer superior performance, power and space, reducing

capital and operating expenses and providing the best return-on-investment. The systems are an

ideal choice for smaller departmental or back-end clustering uses with high-performance needs,

such as storage, data base and GPGPU clusters.

Powerful servers combined with high-performance storag

e and applications that use increasingly

complex computations are causing data bandwidth requirements to spiral upward. As servers are

deployed with next generation processors, High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments

and Enterprise Data Centers (EDC) need every last bit of bandwidth delivered with Mellanox’s

FDR InfiniBand systems.

Built with Mellanox’s sixth generation SwitchX®-2 In

finiBand FDR 56Gb/s system device,

these standalone systems are an ideal choice for top-of-rack leaf connectivity or for building

small to extremely large sized clusters.

These systems enable efficient computing with features such as static routing, adaptive

routing,

and advanced congestion management. These features ensure the maximum effective fabric

bandwidth by eliminating congestion.

The managed systems comes with an onboard subnet

manage

r, enabling simple, out-of-the-box

fabric bring-up for up to 648 nodes. MLNX-OS® software delivers complete chassis manage-

ment of firmware, power supplies, fans, ports and other interfaces.

Mellanox’s edge systems c

an also be coupled with Mellanox’s Unified Fabric Manager (UFM®)

software for managing scale-out In

finiBand computing environments. UFM enables data center

operators to efficiently provision, monitor and operate the modern data center fabric. UFM

boosts application performance and ensures that the fabric is up and running at all times.

InfiniBand systems come as internally or externally managed. Internally managed sy

stems come

with a CPU that runs the management software (MLNX-OS®) and management ports which are

used to transfer management traffic into the system. Externally managed systems come without

the CPU and management ports and are managed using firmware tools.

Mellanox's InfiniBand to Ethernet gateway, built with Mellanox's SwitchX®-2 based systems,

provides the most

cost-effective, high-performance solution for data center unified connectivity

solutions. Mellanox's gateways enable data centers to operate at up to 56Gb/s network speeds

while seamlessly connecting to 1, 10 and 40GbE networks with low latency (400ns). Existing

LAN infrastructures and management practices can be preserved, easing deployment and provid-

ing significant return-on-investment.

2Installation

Installation and initialization of the system require attention to the normal mechanical, power,

and thermal precautions for rack-mounted equipment.

The rack mounting holes conform to the EIA-310 standard for 19-inch racks. Take

precautions to guarantee proper ventilation in order to maintain good airflow at ambi-

ent temperature.



 The installation procedure for the system involv

es the following phases:

1. Follow the safety warnings in Section 2.1.

2. Pay attention to the air flow consideration within the

system an

d rack - refer to “Air Flow” on

page 8.

3. Make sure that none of the package contents is missing or damaged - see “Package Contents”

on page 9

4. Power on the system - refer to “Initial Power On” on page 19

5. Perform system bring-up - see “Bring-Up of Managed Systems” on page 20

2.2 Air Flow

Mellanox systems are offered with two air flow patterns:

• Connector (front) side inlet to power side outlet - marked with red labels on the power

supply side.

• P

ower (rear) side inlet to connector side outlet - marked with blue labels on th

e power

supply side as shown in Figure 4.

All servers and systems in the same rack should be planned with the same airflow

direction.

All FRU components need to have the same air flow direction. A mismatch in the air

flow will affect the heat

dissipation.

Table 6 provides an air flow color legend and respective OPN designations.

2.4 Mounting Options

2.4.1 Battery Backup Unit (BBU) Installation for SX6720

If the BBU is deformed, leaking, corroded or visually damaged, replace it immediately

Do not use a BBU that was not provided by Mellanox Technologies

• A BBU that has not been used for two years or longer past ts printed manufacturing

date is unusable.

• A BBU that is older than five years, according to the printed manufacturing date,

has reached its "end of life"

state and may not provide enough energy to handle the

platform.

• In case the battery should be replaced, software notifications will appear on a

mon

thl

y basis, starting three months before EOL time.

A new Battery Back-up Unit (BBU) will be approximately 50% charged when you receive it. In

case of a power outage, only a fully charged BBU can supply power of up to 5 minutes to the sys-

tem.

2.4.1.1 Installing the Battery

Step 1. Extract the power FRU module from the chassis of the switch by unlocking all latches

Step 2. Insert the BBU into the empty slot in the module by sliding it in and pushing the top end of it

down until it snaps into place, as illustrated in the left image of Figure 9.

Step 3. Slide the module back into the chassis.

2.4.1.2 Extracting the Battery

Step 1. Extract the power FRU module from the chassis of the switch by unlocking all latches.

Step 2. Press both release buttons simultaneously and lift the battery up to remove it, as illustrated in

the right image of Figure 9.

Step 3. Slide the module back into the chassis.

 Planning the system’s placement in the rack

Before mounting the system to the rack, select the way you wi

sh to place the system. Pay atten-

tion to the airflow within the rack cool

ing, connector and cabling options.

While planning how to place the system, review the following points:

• Make sure the system air flow is compatible with your installation selection. It is impor-

tant to keep the airflow within the rack

in the same direction.

• In case there are cables that cannot bend w

ithin the rack or in case more space is needed

for cable bending radius, it is possible to recess the connector side or the FRU side by

3” or 4” (7.62 or 10.16cm) by optional placement of the system’s rails.

• The FRU side is extractable. Mounting the sliding rail

inverted to

the system will allow

you to slide the FRU side of the system, in and out.

Step 1. Install 10 cage nuts into the desired 1U slot of the rack: 4 cage nuts in the non-extractable side

and 6 cage nuts in the extractable side.

Step 2. Mount both of the outer rails (C) into the rack (as illustrated in Figure 11), and use 8 standard

pan-head screws (D) to fix them to the rack. Do not tighten the scre

ws yet.

Step 3. If cable accommodation is required, rout the power cable and/or Eth cable through either of the

outer rails.

Step 4. Secure the switch to the left and right inner rails (A+B), by gently pushing the switch chassis’

pins through the slider key holes, until locking occurs. Secure the chassis in the inner rails

screwing the 2 flat head Phillips screws in the designated points.

Figure 13: Securing the Chassis in the Inner Rails

Step 5. Slide the switch into the rack by carefully pushing the inner rails into the outer rails installed on

the rack.

Step 6. When fully inserted, fix the switch by closing the remaining 2 screws in the middle and tighten-

ing the 8 screws inserted in Step 2 with a torque of Min 2Nm.

Figure 14: Sliding the Switch into the Rack

2.4.2.1 Removing the System from the Rack

 To remove a unit from the rack:

Step 1. Unscrew the two M6 screws securing the front of the inner rails’ ears to the outer rails and to

the rack.

Step 2. Pull the unit out until braking is felt. For safety purposes, the locking mechanism will not allow

a complete removal of the unit at this stage.

Step 3. Press on the locking spring (appears in red in Figure 16) on both sides simultaneously, and con-

tinue pulling the unit towards you until it is fully removed.
