All cables can be inserted or removed with the unit powered on. To insert a cable, press
the connector onto the port receptacle until the connector is firmly seated. The orange
LED indicator above the port will light when the physical connection is established
(when both ends of the cable are properly connected to working devices). Allow 15 sec-
onds for link to get up. To remove, disengage the lock and slowly pull the connector
away from the port receptacle.
2.9.1 Supported Approved Cables

2.9.2 Cable Power Classes
Chassis and switches need to be able to dissipate the heat generated by high power I/O
cables and modules. The Mellanox SX65xx series chassis are rated for cables up to class
2 as per the SFF committee classification (
SFF-8436.PDF ).
See http://www.mellanox.com/content/pages.php?pg=cables for the cable class rating of
Mellanox cables.
2.10 Hot Swap Insertion and Extraction
Before starting any procedure on the SX6512 switch system, put an ESD prevention
wrist strap on your wrist and connect to the SX6512 chassis.
FDR and FDR10 are only guaranteed to work with approved Mellanox Cables.
For a valid physical connection both ends of the cable must be connected to working
devices.
Take care to not impede the air flow through the ventilation holes next to the Infini-
Band ports. Use cable lengths which allow routing horizontally around to the side of
the chassis before bending upward or downward in the rack.
Do NOT mix replacement parts based on different generations of chip.
Do not install InfiniScale IV based replacement parts within a SwitchX® based chas-
sis and vice versa. All Replacement modules must be consistent with the Chassis fam-
ily and switch chip generation.
