System Configurations

The following figure illustrates the Grid Director 4700 with HyperScale Fabric Board (spine)
InfiniBand internal switching topology.

Figure 6: Grid Director 4700 HyperScale Spine Switching Topology

The Grid Director 4700 topology feature eighteen symmetrical Line Boards (sLB) and nine
interconnect Fabric Boards (sFB).



Each Line Board (sLB-4018) includes one 36-port 40Gb/s InfiniBand switch chip.



Each Fabric Board (sFB-4700) includes one 36-port 40Gb/s InfiniBand switch chip.



Each HyperScale Fabric Board (sFB-4700-2X) includes two 36-port 40Gb/s InfiniBand
switch chips.

The LEDs on the Fabric Board modules indicate proper connectivity and traffic flow between
each line board and the respective fabric board.
