12000 Series Switches

Selecting a Rack
The 12800-180 is a large IB switch capable of supporting up to 432 IB ports operating
at QDR speed. It is designed for installations in standard-width, 19"-mount server
racks (total width of a rack is typically 24"). However, to effectively route and manage
such a large number of cables, it is recommended that a wide server rack is used for
installation of 12800-180 switches. Wide 19"-mount server racks are typically 30-32" in
total width.

Installation Tasks

It is recommended that 12800-180 is installed into the rack at 5U or 6U location. This
locates the chassis approximately 12" from the floor and allows the chassis to be
moved onto the support rails by sliding off of the pallet.
1. If applicable, remove the doors of the rack.
2. Install M6 clip nuts in the following locations on EIA rails for U5 installation. For U6
installation, increment clip nut locations by one U.
