1 Preparing for Installation 1.1 Audience This document is intended for HP service representatives and other persons trained to install hardware options in HP BladeSystem configurations. Such persons are expected to understand the hazards of working in this environment and to take suitable precautions to minimize danger to themselves and others.
For specific port connections for each server blade, see the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide. Connections differ by server blade type. The information contained in this document explains the cabling between the HP 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch and the network switches. The HP Onboard Administrator screen example (see Figure 1-2) is a reference for port mapping.
1.6 HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch LEDs Figure 1-4 shows the LEDs and Table 1-1 describes the LEDS in the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch. Figure 1-4 HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch LEDs Table 1-1 describes the callouts shown in Figure...
2 Hardware Installation This chapter contains the following sections: • Installing the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch (Section 2.1) • Installing InfiniBand cables in the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch (Section 2.2) • Cable Management (Section 2.3) •...
2.1.2 Install the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch into the HP BladeSystem Enclosure To install the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch into the HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosure, follow these steps: Slide the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch all the way into the HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosure (see callout 1 in Figure 2-2).
Note: InfiniBand cables with QSFP to CX4 connectors are required when the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch uplinks to an InfiniBand spine interconnect with CX4 connectors. Figure 2-3 QSFP InfiniBand DDR/QDR Cable The following list describes the callouts shown in Figure 2-3: InfiniBand cable...

Note: The c-Class cable management bracket is not included in this kit and must be ordered separately. 2.4 InfiniBand Subnet Management The HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch does not have an embedded subnet manager. All InfiniBand networks require a subnet manager to manage, monitor and troubleshoot the InfiniBand fabric.
3 Removing the HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand Gen 2 Switch for Service Put the HP 10K series rack and the HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosure into a safe and stable state for component removal and bring the component to an appropriate state for removal. You must ensure that you can reach the component easily and handle it safely.
