The single-switch ASIC and dual-switch ASIC switch blades for each enclosure pair are not
interchangeable without re-configuration of the system. The outward appearance of the two types
is very similar, but differs in regards to the number and location of QSFP ports.
Enclosures using one or two FDR switch blades are available in certain specific configurations. A
single-switch blade within a blade enclosure supports a single-plane FDR InfiniBand topology
only when configured with a single-node blade such as the IP113 or IP131. A blade-enclosure pair
using dual-node blades must use four switch blades to support a single-plane topology. Check with
your SGI sales or service representative for additional information on availability.
The SGI ICE X FDR switch blade locations example is shown in Figure 3-3 on page 37. Any
external switch blade ports not used to support the IB system fabric may be connected to optional
service nodes or InfiniBand mass storage. Check with your SGI sales or service representative for
information on available options.
