Switch Platform Installation and Operation
Installation and initialization of the switch platform are straightforward processes, requiring atten-
tion to the normal mechanical, power, and thermal precautions for rack-mounted equipment.
The unmanaged (externally managed) switch platform does not require any programming or con-
figuration to operate as a basic InfiniBand switch and includes all of the necessary functionality to
operate with external standard InfiniBand Subnet Management software.
The managed switch platform requires initial configuration to operate as an InfiniBand switch. All
internally managed switches come with an internal PPC based management board. This board
allows for internally managing the switch through a host PC or remotely through the Ethernet.
