Installation and Basic Operation

Installation and initialization of the switch platform are straightforward processes, requiring atten-
tion to the normal mechanical, power, and thermal precautions for rack-mounted equipment. The 
switch platform does not require any programming or configuration to operate as a basic Infini-
Band switch and includes all of the necessary functionality to operate with external standard Infini-
Band Subnet Management software. 

This section describes the installation process and basic operation of the switch platform. Please 
first read the warnings sub-section carefully before carrying on with installation procedures.

Suitable electrical, mechanical and fire enclosure shall be provided by the end user.
