Installation
Installation and initialization of the gateway platform are straightforward processes, requiring
attention to the normal mechanical, power, and thermal precautions for rack-mounted equipment.
The gateway platform requires initial configuration to operate as an InfiniBand device. All gate-
ways come with an internal PPC based management board. This board allows for internally man-
aging the gateway through a host PC or remotely through the Ethernet.
The gateway platform can be rack mounted and is designed for installation in a standard 19"
rack. The power side of the gateway includes 2 hot-swap power supply modules for redundancy,
and a hot-swap fan tray. There are two possible air flow directions. Be sure that the gateway air
flow direction is compatible with your system, rack, and PS units. The connector side of the gate-
way has the QSFP ports, system LEDs, and management connection ports.
The gateway platform contains auto-sensing 100 - 240 VAC connections for all possible PS units.
The installer should use a rack capable of supporting the mechanical and environmental charac-
teristics of a fully populated platform.

The rack mounting holes conform to the EIA-310 standard for 19-inch racks. Take
precautions to guarantee proper ventilation in order to maintain good airflow at ambi-
ent temperature. Cable routing in particular should not impede the air flow through
