Selecting a Rack

12800-360 is the largest in the 12800-series of switches, capable of supporting up
to 864 InfiniBand ports operating at QDR speed. To facilitate installation and
management of such a large number of cables, the 12800-360 switch was
designed with cables in the front and the rear of the chassis. This reduces cable
density and improves cable management and accessibility.
To effectively route and manage cables, it is recommended that a wide server rack
is used for installation of the 12800-360 switch. These instructions are for
installation in a typical wide server rack 797mm wide x 1021mm deep, or similar,
with adjustable vertical EIA rails.
