InfiniBand Blade Switch for the Dell Modular 
Server Chassis 

This document provides instructions on how to install the Cisco M SFS7000E InfiniBand Switch in the 
Dell Modular Server Chassis. The Dell Modular Server Chassis is a system that supports up to sixteen 
server modules and up to four InfiniBand switches. You may install the InfiniBand switch in one of four 
chassis I/O module bays on the rear panel of the server chassis.

Note

There are six chassis I/O module bays on the rear panel of the server chassis. The InfiniBand switches 
are supported in the middle four bays that are connected to Fabrics B and C.

For details about the number, types, and location of the module bays and for additional information about 
the entire modular server system, see the documentation for the Dell PowerEdge Servers at
