QLogic 12200 and 12300 InfiniBand Edge Switches for
the IBM Intelligent Cluster and IBM iDataPlex
Product Guide
Over the past 10 years, InfiniBand networks have become the preferred means for interconnecting high
performance computing (HPC) resources. The QLogic 12200 and 12300 are 36-port Quad Data Rate
(QDR, 40 Gbps) InfiniBand switches designed to cost-effectively link workgroup resources into a cluster or
provide an edge switch option for a larger fabric. The 12200 is a fixed configuration, externally managed
InfiniBand switch; the 12300 is a modular, internally or externally managed InfiniBand switch.
Both switches are part of the 12000 Series of products that delivers an unmatched set of high speed
networking features and functions.
Figure 1 shows the rear of the 12200 switch. The 12300 is very similar in port layout.
