Selecting a Rack

The 12800-180 is a large InfiniBand switch capable of supporting up to 432
InfiniBand 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

NOTE:
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.
