For more detailed information about the Topspin 90 server switch, we recommend that you have the Topspin 90 Hardware Guide available. • “Prepare the Site” on page 1 • “Install the Topspin 90 in an Equipment Rack” on page 2 • “Install Expansion Modules (Optional)” on page 5 • “Cable the Switch” on page 5 • “Configure Basic Connectivity” on page 6 • “Connect and Configure InfiniBand Hosts” on page 8 • “Install the Element Manager (GUI)” on page 10 • “Launch Chassis Manager” on page 11 • “Configure Additional Settings” on page 12 • “(Optional) Configure the Ethernet Gateway” on page 13 • “Configure the Fibre Channel Gateway (Optional)” on page 15 Prepare the Site 1. Read the cautionary statements in “Safety Information” on page v. 2. Unpack the Topspin 90 package, using the packing list provided. 3. Register the Topspin system online. Go to 4. Prepare a management workstation, such as a PC or laptop running a terminal program, and a straight-through M/F DB-9 serial cable (included). 5. Prepare the physical environment for the Topspin 90. a. Make sure that you have an approved grounding wrist-strap. b. Make sure the system has the right cables and sufficient ventilation. c. Unpack the Topspin 90 package, using the packing list provided. d. Verify that you have all of the items on the Requirements list. See “Requirements” on page 2. Install the Topspin 90 in an Equipment Rack There are two different methods that can be used to rack the Topspin 90. This guide provides instructions for one method. To view instructions on the alternative method, refer to the Topspin 90 Hardware Guide. Requirements In addition to the accessories provided with the switch, you should have: • Phillips screw driver • Eight screws and any associated mounting clips to secure the brackets to your rack (2 for each rail of the rack) • Two people are recommended to perform the install Prepare for the Installation 1. Open the shipping package, if you have not already done so. Remove the chassis, rack brackets, CD-ROM, parts bag, and documentation. 2. Place the chassis on a secure, clean surface. 3. Open the plastic bag containing mounting parts. 4. Check the slot in the rack for sufficient clearance. 5. Determine the direction that the switch will be installed and justified in the rack. The direction that you mount the switch will determine the direction that the brackets will need to be attached. Rack Mount Installation NOTE: There are two different ways to perform the rack installation of the Topspin 90. In this procedure, you will attach the rails to the rack before inserting the switch. This procedure is slightly easier to perform if you only have one person. Refer to the Topspin 90 Hardware Guide to view the second installation method. 1. Take one connected pair of rack brackets and separate them. Each side arrives assembled to its counterpart, but should be separated before attaching to the switch when using this method of installation. Separate Brackets Figure 1-1: Assembled Rack Bracket Pair 2. Attach the rack bracket that has screw holes to the side of the chassis with the flange facing away from the switch, as shown in Figure 1-2. The standard method is to face the flange toward the front of the chassis. However, you can also mount the flange toward the back if you want to mount the switch backward in the chassis (service-side forward). Flange Figure 1-2: Attaching One Rail to Server Switch Chassis 3. Repeat step 1 and step 2 for the other side of the switch chassis. NOTE: The two counterparts to these sliding rails (without screw holes) should still be unattached. 4. Check your rack for clearance for the switch. The switch can be installed either directly on top of another device (using the rubber feet, which are provided), or be suspended from the rack brackets. 5. Attach the remaining two rail brackets to your rack. a. Orient a bracket toward the back of the rack with the flange facing away from the rack. The flange should go around the outside of the rack post, as shown in, as shown in Figure 1-3. NOTE: If you are mounting the switch backward, the rack bracket should be installed toward the front of the rack. b. Secure the brackets with your screws through the back of the rack posts, as shown in Figure 1-4. c. Repeat on both sides of the rack.

Lift the switch unit and align the bracket on the switch with the bracket on the rack before sliding the two sets of brackets together. 7. Carefully push the switch unit into the ra...
