Overview
Mellanox MTS3600 switch systems provide the highest performing fabric solution by delivering high band-
width and low latency to Enterprise Data Centers, High-Performance Computing and Embedded environ-
ments. Networks built with MTS3600 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, MTS3600 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 operation within
an InfiniBand fabric. This switch requires an InfiniBand compliant Subnet Manager running from one of the
hosts. All that is required for normal operation is to follow the usual precautions for installation and to con-
nect the switch to the HCAs. Once connected, the Subnet Management software automatically configures
and begins utilizing the switch.
It is recommended that Mellanox OpenFabrics software package be installed on all nodes connected to the
MTS3600. The software package provides a subnet manager and network management tools as well as con-
nectivity software for servers and storage, and is available on the Mellanox web site. See Chapter 3 for more
information.
