1 Preparing for Installation

1.1 Audience

This document is intended for HP service representatives and other persons trained to install

hardware options in HP BladeSystem configurations. Such persons are expected to understand

the hazards of working in this environment and to take suitable precautions to minimize danger

to themselves and others.

1.2 Kit contents

The kit contains the following items:

• Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystems—689638-B21 (see Figure

• Warranty documentation

Figure 1: SX1018HP Ethernet Switch

Additional information

Mezzanine NIC installation determines interconnect bay assignments for switch installation. For

more information on the association between the mezzanine connector and the interconnect bays,

see the following documents under Mezzanine-to-Interconnect Mappings on the HP BladeSys

tem Technical Resources website:

• HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide:

http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation

For specific port connections for each server blade, see the HP BladeSystem Onboard Adminis-

trator User Guide. Connections differ by server blade type. The information contained in this

document explains the cabling between the SX1018HP Ethernet Switch and the network

switches.

The HP Onboard Administrator screen example (see Figure 2) is a reference for port mapping.

This kit does not include cables. You must order the cables separately.

Your particular switch might look slightly different.

You can install up to 18 cables in the uplink ports on the SX1018HP Ethernet Switch.

1.3 Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet Switch Connector Bays

Figure 3: QSFP Connectors

1.3.1 Uplink Ports

The ports labelled 1 to 18 are external uplink ports. You can install up to 18 40GbE QSFP+

cables or combinations of 40 GbE and 10GbE ports. The maximum number of 10GbE ports

available using this switch and breakout cables is 34.

1.3.2 Breakout Cables

Splitting the Data Stream Using Breakout (Fanout) Cables.

Specific ports can be split by using a QSFP 1X4 breakout cable to split one 40 GbE port into 4

lanes (4 SFP+ connectors 10GbE each). These 4 lanes then go, one lane to each of the 4 SFP+

connectors. Some ports can be split into 2 10 Gb/s ports, using lanes 1 and 2 only. When a QSFP

40GbE is supported in interconnect bays 3 to 8 only.

Your screen image might vary by switch type.

2 Hardware Installation

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Installing the Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet Switch

• Installing and removing cables in the Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet Switch

2.1 Installing the Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet Switch

2.1.1 Prepare the Interconnect Module Bay in the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure

 To prepare the interconnect module bay in the HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosure, follow

these steps:

1. Remove any devices or blanks.

2. To remove the divider, press the divider release button and slide the divider out of the inter-

connect module bay (see Figure 7).

Figure 7: Removing a Divider from the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure Bay

3. Press the divider release button.

4. Slide divider out from the interconnect module bay.

All panels and doors should be in place and securely fastened while the unit is in opera-

tion for proper cooling and for EMI emissions control.

2.1.2 Install the Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet Switch into the HP BladeSystem Enclo-

sure

 To install the Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet Switch into the HP BladeSystem c7000 enclo-

sure, follow these steps:

1. Slide the Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet Switch all the way into the HP BladeSystem c7000

enclosure (see

Figure 8).

2. Push the blade handle in until it is in the locked position (see Figure 8). The blade handle is

locked when you can not pull it back out without pushing the blade handle release.

Figure 8: Install Blade

2.2 Installing and Removing Cables

Figure 9 shows a cable with a QSFP+ connector used with the Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet

Switch. QSFP+ connector to QSFP+ connector cables are used to connect multiple Mellanox

SX1018HP Ethernet Switches together. For example, you might connect two or more c-Class

interconnect modules together, for example, when another switch is installed in another HP Blad

eSystem c7000 enclosure that is mounted in the same rack. The Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet

Switches are connected together by the QSFP+ to QSFP+ cables to form a high-performance net

work.

2.2.1 Installing a Cable in the Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet Switch

 To install a cable in the Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet Switch, follow these steps:

1. Align the cable QSFP+ connector with the Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet Switch port ( Fig-

ure 10).

2. Insert the QSFP+ connector into the Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet Switch port (Figure 10)

until it is fully engaged and locked.

You can install up to 18 cables in the Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet Switch. It is not necessary to

install the cables in any particular order.

2.2.2 Removing a Cable from the Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet Switch

To remove a cable from the Mellanox SX1018HP Ethernet Switch, pull the QSFP+ connector

release tab (

Figure 9) which releases the connector while using your other hand to remove the

connector from the switch port.

To completely remove the cable, it might be necessary to remove a releasable cable tie on the HP

c-Class blade cable management bracket.

If it is necessary to remove a releasable cable tie from the cable management bracket to fully

release a QSFP+ connector from the switch, reverse the installation procedure documented in the

cable management bracket installation guide.

3 Configuring the Switch the First Time

The procedures described in this chapter assume that you have already installed and powered-on

your switch according to the instructions in this document.

Step 1. If you are not already connected to the Onboard Administrator, connect to the Onboard Admin-

istrator of the Chassis using the serial port to your laptop. 

For more information see the http://www.hp.com/support/

BladeSystem_Onboard_Administrator_UG_en

Step 2. Connect to the HP Onboard Administrator and run “connect interconnect <slot number 1-7>”.

Step 3. Configure a serial terminal program (for example, HyperTerminal, minicom, or Tera Term) on

your host PC with the settings described in

Table 5.

Step 4. Login (from a serial terminal program) as admin and use admin as password. This starts the

Mellanox configuration wizard.

Step 5. Go through the Mellanox configuration wizard. Table 6 shows an example of a wizard session.

No remote IP connection is available at this stage.

Wizard Session Display Comments

Mellanox configuration wizard

Do you want to use the wizard

for initial configuration? yes

You must perform this configuration the first time you

operate the switch or after resetting the switch. Type ‘y’

and then press <Enter>.

Step 1: Hostname? [switch] If you wish to accept the default hostname, then press

<Enter>. Otherwise, type a different hostname and press

<Enter>.

Configuring the Switch the First TimeRev 1.0

Mellanox Technologies

Step 2: Use DHCP on mgmt0

interface? [no] yes

Perform this step to obtain an IP address for the switch.

(mgmt0 is the management port of the switch.)

If you wish the DHCP server to assign the IP address,

type ‘yes’ and press <Enter>.

If you type ‘no’ (no DHCP), then you will be asked

whether you wish to use the ‘zeroconf’ configuration or

not.

If you enter ‘no’ (no Zeroconf), then you need to enter a

static IP, and the session will continue.

Step 3: Enable IPv6? [yes] The management interface will be able to use IPv6

addresses.

Step 4: Enable IPv6 auto-config

(SLAAC) on mgmt0 interface?

[no]

This turns on auto-configuration of the IPv6 addresses.

This is unsuitable for DHCPv6.

Step 5: Enable DHCPv6 on

mgmt0 interface? [no]

To enable DHCPv6 on the MGMT0 interface.

Step 6: Admin password (Press

<Enter> to leave unchanged)?

<new_password>

Step 6: Confirm admin pass-

word? <new_password>

To avoid illegal access to the machine, please type a pass-

word and then press <Enter>. Then confirm the password

by re-entering it.

Note that password characters are not printed.

You have entered the following

information:

<A summary of the configura-

tion is now displayed.>

To change an answer, enter the

step number to return to or hit

<enter> to save changes and exit.

Choice: <Enter>

Configuration changes saved.

The wizard displays a summary of your choices and then

asks you to confirm the choices or to re-edit them.

Either press <Enter> to save changes and exit, or enter the

configuration step number that you wish to return to.

Note:

To re-run the configuration wizard run the command

“configuration jump-start” in Config mode.
