2 Ethernet Ports

This Ethernet switch system supports 48 SFP+ ports, 12 QSFP ports and maintains a 4:1 ratio.

Each SFP+ port is capable of 10GbE/1GbE port speeds. Up to 24 SFP+ ports are capable of 1/2/

4/8G FC. Ports 1-12 are grouped as FC ports as well as ports 38-48.

All Ethernet ports can be manually configured through the CLI management interface.

Each of the 12 QSFP ports is capable of up to 40GbE, upgradable to 56 GbE with a license, as

well as 10GbE with a QSA QSFP to SFP+ adapter or QSFP to SFP+ Mellanox cables.

Each of the 48 SFP+ ports is capable of up to 10GbE.

40 GbE and 56 GbE are only guaranteed to work with approved cables and modules.

3 Basic Operation

3.1 Switch Platform Hardware Overview

Figure 3 shows the power side panel view of the switch. The figure shows the hot-swap power

supply locations and the hot-swap fan modules, and an I2C banana connector.

The figure also shows the connector side panel views of the internally managed switch. The fig-

ure shows port configurations for the switch systems. Managed systems have 2 – Ethernet RJ-45

connectors for management, 1 – RJ-45 connector for connecting to a host PC, 1 – USB connec

-

tor. All switches have various status LEDs for on site switch status information.

3.2.1 System Status Indicators

The System Status Indicators are located to the left of the connectors on the connector side panel,

and on the power side at the far right. Both of these LEDs give identical information.

The system status indicators should display as follows:

• when the switch is plugged in, within five minutes the STATUS LED should light up

green

• the FAN LED should light up green. If the FAN LED shows red, troubleshoot the fan

module.

See “Troubleshooting” on page 52.

Table 3 shows the system status LED assignment.

As long as there is power to the switch (one PS unit is connected), and the switch is

booted up and running, the status LED should be green.

If the STATUS LED shows red after five minutes, unplug the switch and call your

Mellanox representative for assistance.

If the switch shuts down due to over temperature, unplug the switch, wait 5 minutes

and replug in the switch. For more information See “Troubleshooting” on page 52.

Table 3 - System Status LED Assignments

LED Configuration STATUS/ System Health LED

Solid Green OK – The system is up and running.

Flashing Green The system is booting up. This assignment is valid on managed systems only.

Solid Yellow To be implemented in a future SW release.

Solid Red Major Error – Possible damage can result to the switch. Turn off immediately.

e.g. bad firmware, can’t boot, overheated. If the system is booting up, it can take

up to 5 minutes for the status led to change to green.

Off Off – The system has no power.

Solid Green OK – All fans are up and running.

Solid Red Error – One or more fans is not operating properly. The system should be powered

down and troubleshoot the fan module.

Off Off – The fan unit is not receiving any power. Check that the fan unit is properly

and completely inserted.

3.3 Air Flow

These switches can come with two air flow patterns. The two patterns are:

• Connector side inlet to power side outlet

• Power side inlet to connector side outlet

The air flow is specified in the product model number. See “Mellanox Part Numbering Legend”

on page 10.On the PS unit and fan modules the air flow direction can be seen on the power side

panel. All components need to have the same air flow. A mismatch in the air flow will affect the

heat dissipation.

Figure 13 shows a mismatch in component airflow.
