Overview
This User Manual provides an overview of the SX6512 QSFP Modular InfiniBand
Switch Platform (known in this document as ‘the chassis or switch’) and its operational
environment.
Mellanox SX6512 switch systems provide the highest performing fabric solution by
delivering high bandwidth and low latency to Enterprise Data Centers (EDC), High-Per-
formance Computing (HPC) and Embedded environments. Networks built with the
SX6512 system can carry converged traffic with the combination of assured bandwidth
and granular quality of service. Built with Mellanox’s 5
th
generation SwitchX® VPI
switch device, SX6512 systems provide up to 56Gb/s full bidirectional bandwidth per
port. With up to 216 ports in a 9U high form factor, these systems are among the densest
switching systems available.
The switch platform comes pre-installed with all necessary firmware for standard opera-
tion within an InfiniBand fabric and requires an InfiniBand compliant Subnet Manager
running from one of the hosts or the management module of the switch system. The ini-
tial configuration procedure should be followed to initialize the switch before connecting
it to the network after which normal operation can proceed. (See the installation guide
for details regarding the initial configuration.) Once connected to the network, the Sub-
net Management software automatically discovers and configures the fabric and begins
utilizing the switch.
The Mellanox Operating System (MLNX-OS®) 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.
