1 Overview

This User Manual provides an overview of the SX6512 QSFP Modular InfiniBand

Switch Platform (known in this document as ‘the chassis or switch’) and its operational

environment.

Mellanox SX6512 switch systems provide the highest

performing fabric solution by

delivering high bandwidth and low latency to Enterprise Data Centers (EDC), High-Per-

formance Computing (HPC) and Embedded environments. Networks built with the

SX6512 sys

tem can carry converged traffic with the combination of assured bandwidth

and granular quality of service. Built with Mellanox’s 5

th

generation SwitchX® VPI

switch device, SX6512 systems provide up to 56Gb/s full bidirectional bandwidth per

port. With up to 216 ports in a 9U high form factor, these systems are among the densest

switching systems available.

The switch platform comes pre-installed with

all necessary firmware for standard opera-

tion within an InfiniBand fabric and requires

an InfiniBand compliant Subnet Manager

running from one of the hosts or the management module of the switch system. The ini-

tial configuration procedure should be followed to initialize the switch before connecting

it to the network after which

normal operation can proceed. (See the installation guide

for details regarding the initial configuration.) Once connected to the network, the Sub-

net Management software automatically discove

rs and configures the fabric and begins

utilizing the switch.

The Mellanox Operating System (MLNX-OS®)

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.

Basic installation is covered in

Chapter 2, “Installation” on page 18.

Hot-swapping components and hardware maintenance is covered in

Chapter 2.10, “Hot

Swap Insertion and Extraction” on page 43.

1.3 InfiniBand FDR and FDR10 Overview

The Mellanox SX6512 switch system supports FDR, standard InfiniBand data rate,

where each lane of a 4X port runs a bit rate of 14.0625Gb/s with a 64b/66b encoding,

resulting in an effective bandwidth of 54.54Gb/s. The FDR physical layer is an IBTA

specified physical layer using different block types, deskew mechanism and framing

rules.

The SX6512 switch also supports FDR10, a n

on-standard InfiniBand data rate, where

each lane of a 4X port runs a bit rate of 10.3125Gb/s with a 64b/66b encoding, resulting

in an effective bandwidth of 40Gb/s.

FDR10 supports 20% more bandwidth over regula

r QDR using the same QSFP cables/

connectors.

Both FDR and FDR10 support Forward Error Corre

ction (FEC), as described in IEEE

Std 802.3ap-2007 (Amendment to IEEE Std 802.3-2005) chapter 74.

1.4 Power Supply Redundancy

The SX6512 platform comes standard with four power supplies and has two order

options:

• SX6512-4R - N+1 redundancy

• SX6512-NR - N+N redundancy

1. Features for a future release.

FDR and FDR10 are only guaranteed to work with approved Mellanox cables.

FDR10 is only guaranteed to work with approved Mellanox ConnectX-3 adapters.

1.4.1 1000W Power Supply Units

The 1000W power supply units (PSUs) deliver 1000W at 48V. The AC source to each

PSU must be able to provide 1176.5W in order to output 1000W in DC.

With 1000W PSUs the only redundancy option is

N+1. In this configuration 1PSU can

be extracted without bringing down the system. When using the 1000W PSUs, the mini-

mum complement of PSUs at start-up is

4 and the chassis will continue to run at full

capacity with only 3 PSUs.

1.4.2 1600W Power Supply Units

The 1600W power supply units (PSUs) deliver 1600W at 48V. The AC source to each

PSU must be able to provide 1882.4W in order to output 1600W in DC.

When using the 1600W PSUs, the minimum complement

of PSUs which allows the

chassis to run at full capacity is 2.

The 1600W PSUs can implement the following two redundancy options:

• No redundancy (combined mode)

•

N+1 configuration (ps-redundant mode)

When supplied from a single 220V power grid, the

chassis supports up to 2 redundant units.

Thereby, the minimum required number of PSUs equals 2. When supplied by a single 110V

power grid, the number of redundant power supplies is only 1.

• N+N configuration (grid-redundant mode)

The chassis PSUs are fed from two power grids for high availability

. The second power grid

can be supplied by any of the following:

• a backup power supply grid

• a generator

• a battery backup system

• any combination of the above

Connecting 2 power supplies to one power supply grid

and the remaining 2 power supplies to

a secondary power supply grid will create N+N redundancy. This is High Availability. Under

these conditions should a power grid fail (an electric company power failure or blackout for

example) power grid High Availability will continue to keep the chassis running at full capac-

ity through the secondary or backup power supply grid.

With N+N optional PSU grid redundancy the chassis can run on 1/2 of the full complement of

PSU

s. N+N allows the chassis to run on 2 PSUs supplied from one power grid while 2 are

connected to a second power grid.

N+N redundancy ONLY works with a supply voltage of 220V.

With power grid A charged with current and power grid B not charged there is only

grid redundancy and not PSU redundancy.

When the power drops below the required minimum due to power supply failure,

MLNX-OS® may power down some leafs. If this happens it may be necessary to reboot

the chassis once the defective PSU has been replaced. Two simple ways to reboot is to

use the reboot command in the CLI or reboot through the WebUI.

The form is identical between the two PSU types while the 1000W PSU weighs 0.3kg

more than the 1600W

PSU.

2Installation

Installation and initialization of the chassis is a simple process requiring attention to the

normal mechanical, power, and thermal precautions for rack-mounted equipment. Your

chassis comes only with the power supplies and fans pre-installed. The rest of the open-

ings are populated with blanks. All of the leafs, sp

ines, and management modules come

shipped in a separate package.

The chassis requires initial configuration

to get the chassis and Fabric management up

and running through remote management. See the Installation Guide that is packed in the

box for the instructions to make the initial configuration.

Risk of Electric Shock!

With the fan module removed power pins are accessible within the module cavity.

DO NOT insert tools or body parts into the fan module cavity.

This equipment should not be operated in an area with an ambient temperature exceed-

ing the maximum recommended: 45°C (113°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.

This product includes a redundant power or a blank in its place. In case of a blank

power supply, do not operate the product with the blank cover removed or not securely

fastened.

This system has double pole/neutral fusing. Remove all power cords before opening

the cover of this product or touching any internal parts.

Risk of electric shock and energy hazard.
