Page 5: Fcc Statement
Regulatory Notices FCC Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. - Page 6 Ensure the ground connection on the power supply is correct and functioning before applying power to the Topspin system. CAUTION: Always ground yourself before touching any internal Topspin system components to avoid damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). CAUTION: The Topspin system has two power cables. The operator must disconnect all power cables before attempting to remove the system from the rack.

Page 10: Install The Topspin 90 In An Equipment Rack
Prepare the physical environment for the Topspin 90. Make sure that you have an approved grounding wrist-strap. Make sure the system has the right cables and sufficient ventilation. Unpack the Topspin 90 package, using the packing list provided. Verify that you have all of the items on the Requirements list. See “Requirements”... - Page 11 Take one connected pair of rack brackets and separate them. Each side arrives assembled to its counterpart, but should be separated before attaching to the switch when using this method of installation. Separate Brackets Figure 1-1: Assembled Rack Bracket Pair Attach the rack bracket that has screw holes to the side of the chassis with the flange facing away from the switch, as shown in Figure...
- Page 12 Attach the remaining two rail brackets to your rack. Orient a bracket toward the back of the rack with the flange facing away from the rack. The flange should go around the outside of the rack post, as shown in, as shown in Figure 1-3.

Page 13: Install Expansion Modules (Optional)
If the brackets do not slide easily, the alignment may be off. Pull the switch back toward you and realign the brackets. Figure 1-5: Sliding the Switch Into the Rack Secure the switch with your screws through the front of the rack, as show in Figure 1-6. -
Page 14: Connect Infiniband Cables
Connect InfiniBand Cables Plug InfiniBand Cables from the InfiniBand-enabled host to the InfiniBand switch ports. This can also be done in a later step. Refer to step Plug InfiniBand cables from the Topspin 90 to any additional InfiniBand switches that you want to connect. -

Enter the enable command. Topspin-90> enable Topspin-90# Enter the configure command. Topspin-90# configure Topspin-90(config)# Enter the interface mgmt-ethernet command. Topspin-90(config)# interface mgmt-ethernet Enter the IP address of the management port followed by the netmask. Topspin-90(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# ip address 10.10.0.22 255.255.255.0 Set the default gateway for the management port. For example: Topspin-90(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# gateway 10.10.0.1 Enable the management port by entering the no shutdown command. -

Enter the option dhcp command. The chosen method will be persistent across module reboots. Topspin-90(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# option dhcp Enable the management port by entering the no shutdown command. Topspin-90(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# no shutdown Save the configuration to preserve it between reboots. Topspin-90(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# exit Topspin-90(config)# exit Topspin-90# copy running-config startup-config Use the show interface mgmt-ethernet command to view your IP address:. - Page 17 Open a terminal or graphic window and access the top-level directory on the CD-ROM Execute the command ./tsinstall in a terminal window. This program automatically detects the available kernel and installs the appropriate drivers as RPM packages. By default, topspin files are saved in the /usr/local/topspin directory.

Plug InfiniBand Cables from the host to the InfiniBand switch. To plug in an InfiniBand cable, push the connector into the interface until you hear/feel a click. Figure 1-7: Fully Installed IB Cable with Pinch Connector NOTE: If your host does not provide an ample amount of free space around a given IB port, double-check that your IB cable connector engages fully. -

Page 23: Configure The Fibre Channel Gateway (Optional)
Configure the Fibre Channel Gateway (Optional) To configure ITLs, perform the following steps: Log in to your host. Enter the /etc/init.d/ts_srp stop command at the host CLI to force the host to log out of any storage. You must disable connections now and enable them later in this process. Enter the /usr/local/topspin/bin/vstat --verbose|grep -i guid command at the host CLI to display the host GUID. - Page 24 advantage of CLI options to assign these values dynamically. The remainder of this process dynamically allocates WWNNs and WWPNs. The auto-bind keyword: • Assigns a unique WWNN to the initiator. • Creates a virtual port (that maps to the initiator) for all possible (actual & potential) physical FC gateway port and assigns a WWPN to each virtual port.
- Page 25 (Optional) Enter the show fc srp initiator command to verify the new initiator. Example Topspin-90# show fc srp initiator ================================================================================ SRP Initiators ================================================================================ guid: 00:05:ad:00:00:01:29:c5 extension: 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 description: Bender wwnn: 20:01:00:05:ad:00:40:00 credit: 0 active-ports: none pkeys: action: auto-bind result: success wwpns: port wwpn fc-addr...

Enter the show fc srp itl command to display the potential ITLs and record the target-wwpn and fc-lunid values. Example Topspin-90(config)# exit Topspin-90# show fc srp itl ================================================================================ SRP ITL...
- Page 27 NOTE: The fc-lunid field displays the LUN ID of the ITL that you will configure. For non-sequential LUNs, this value will always appear as 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00. For sequential LUNs, the value will iterate by 1 for each LUN in the target device. 11.
- Page 28 15. Return to User Exec mode or Privileged Exec mode and enter the show fc srp itl command to verify that the ITL is active. Port numbers appear in the physical-access and active-ports fields to indicate that the ITL is active.
