Unpack the Fabric Interconnect F1-15
Note -
The topics documented in this section are for stand-alone Fabric Interconnect
deployments only. The Fabric Interconnect is orderable as a complete, engineered system
called the Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance (VCA), which has different contents and
installation procedures. If you are deploying a stand-alone (non-VCA) Fabric Interconnect,
continue to use this documentation. If you are deploying an VCA Fabric Interconnect, do
not use this documentation. Instead, use the documentation that accompanied your VCA
shipment.
Unpack the Fabric Interconnect F1-15
The Fabric Interconnect F1-15 is a 4 rack-unit Fabric Interconnect with capacity for 15 I/O
modules and either 24 InfiniBand server connections at DDR speeds, or 20 InfiniBand server
connections at QDR speeds.
Caution -
The Fabric Interconnect chassis weighs 100 - 130 pounds (45 - 59 kilograms)
depending on its configuration. Removing the chassis from the shipping container and installing
it in an equipment rack requires a minimum of two people. Attempting to unpack and install
this system alone could result in equipment damage or personal injury.
To unpack the system, you will need the following tools:
■
#2 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver
■
Box cutter
Note -
Because the number and types of I/O modules are determined by the customer, I/O
modules are shipped in separate boxes.
Follow this procedure for unpacking your Fabric Interconnect:
1. Locate the shipping list and verify that the following containers are present:
■
System shipping container
■
I/O module box (1 to 15)
■
HCA box
■
Options box
