19U QSFP SDR/DDR/QDR InfiniBand Switch Platform User’s Manual Rev 1.7
Mellanox Technologies 9
1 Overview
This User’s Manual provides an overview of the 19U QSFP DDR/QDR Modular InfiniBand
Switch Platform (‘the switch’) and the operational environment.
Mellanox MTS3610 switch systems provide the highest performing fabric solution by delivering
high bandwidth and low latency to Enterprise Data Centers, High-Performance Computing and
Embedded environments. Networks built with MTS3610 systems can carry converged traffic with
the combination of assured bandwidth and granular quality of service. Built with Mellanox’s 4th
generation InfiniScale® IV InfiniBand switch device, MTS3610 systems provide up to 40Gb/s full
bidirectional bandwidth per port. With 324 ports, these systems are among the densest switching
systems available.
The switch platform comes pre-installed with all necessary firmware and configured for standard
operation within an InfiniBand fabric, and requires an InfiniBand compliant Subnet Manager run-
ning from one of the hosts. All that is required for normal operation is to follow the usual precau-
tions for installation and to connect the switch to the HCAs. Once connected, the Subnet
Management software automatically configures and begins utilizing the switch.
It is recommended that the Mellanox OpenFabrics software package be installed on all nodes con-
nected to the MTS3610. The software package provides a subnet manager and network manage-
ment tools as well as connectivity software for servers and storage, and is available on the
Mellanox web site.
Basic installation, hot-swapping components and hardware maintenance is covered in
“Installa-
tion” on page 20.
1.1 Serial Number and Product Version Information
The serial number and product version information are found on the label seen in the figure below.
Figure 1: Generic Product label
Also on this label is the GUID identifier for the switch.
This is the System Image GUID according to the IB spec. It is burned on the board which is in the
chassis. All the boards and the management SW looks for this GUID in addition to their own Node
GUID.
