Infiniband raf (reverse air flow) managed switch

HP High Performance Computing InfiniBand Solutions

An integral component of an HP InfiniBand solution is the InfiniBand switch. The InfiniBand switch

might have leaf boards, power supply units, fan modules, management modules, and other field

swappable devices to use, manage, and service the switch.

The HP InfiniBand network also includes the HCAs (host channel adapters). The HCAs have two

form factors: one with standard PCI form factor for HP ProLiant DL and SL servers, and another

with the mezzanine form factor for HP ProLiant BL server blades. The components that contain PCI

or HCA cards are visible and manageable parts of your HP InfiniBand network. An HP InfiniBand

HCA can be a single-port or dual-port PCI card or HP BladeSystem InfiniBand mezzanine HCA.
