Overview
Mellanox IS50XX switch systems provide the highest performing fabric solution by delivering
high bandwidth and low latency to Enterprise Data Centers, High-Performance Computing and
Embedded environments. Networks built with IS50XX systems can carry converged traffic with
the combination of assured bandwidth and granular quality of service. Built with Mellanox’s 4th
generation InfiniScale® IV InfiniBand switch device, IS50XX systems provide up to 40Gb/s full
bidirectional bandwidth per port. With 36 ports, these systems are among the densest switching
systems available. These stand-alone switches are an ideal choice for top-of-rack leaf connectivity
or for building small to medium size clusters.
The switch comes pre-installed with all necessary firmware and is configured for standard opera-
tion within an InfiniBand fabric. This switch requires an InfiniBand compliant Subnet Manager
running from one of the hosts or Fabric Management software running on the switch. All that is
required for normal operation is to follow the usual precautions for installation and to connect the
switch to the HCAs. Once connected, the Subnet Management software automatically configures
and begins utilizing the switch.
It is recommended that the Mellanox OpenFabrics software package be installed on all nodes con-
nected to the IS50XX. The 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. See Chapter 3 for more information.
Basic installation, hot-swapping components and hardware maintenance is covered in “Basic
Operation and Installation” on page 14.
