Q
2.6.1.1
Cabling for the QMI7140
Follow Steps 1-3 from the previous section. The cables for the QMI7140 plug into
the Pass Through Switch Module in the back of the system, rather than into the
adapter card. Please see the documentation for the IBM BladeCenter H for
information on the Pass Through Switch Module.
2.6.2
Optical Fibre Option
The InfiniPath adapter also supports connection to the switch by means of optical
fibres through optical media converters such as the Emcore QT2400. Not all
switches support these types of convertors. For more information on the Emcore
convertor, contact www.emcore.com.

Completing the Installation
This section applies to the QLE7140, QHT7040, and QHT7140 adapters.
NOTE: If you have a QMI7140 adapter for Power systems, proceed to software
installation, as described in
section 3 .
To complete the hardware installation:
1. Complete any other installation steps for other components.
2. Replace the cover plate and back panel.
3. Verify that the power cable is properly connected.
4. Turn on the power supply, and boot the system normally.
5. Watch the LED indicators. The LEDs will flash only once, briefly, at power-on.
The LEDs are functional only after the InfiniPath software has been installed,
the driver has been loaded, and the system is connected to an InfiniBand switch.
To use the LEDs to check state,
see section 3.18 .
