1 Mechanical Installation
Installation and initialization of the switch platform are straightforward processes, requiring attention to the normal mechanical, power, and thermal precautions for rack-mounted equipment.
1.1
Installation Safety Warnings
For Safety Warnings in French, German, and Spanish see the User Manual (you can download it from the mellanox.com website MSX1024 product page).
1. Installation Instructions
Rev 1.0
Read all installation instructions before connecting the equipment to the power source.
2. Over-temperature
This equipment should not be operated in an area with an ambient temperature exceeding the maximum recommended: 45°C (113°F). Moreover, to guarantee proper air flow, allow at least 8cm (3 inches) of clearance around the ventilation openings.
3. Stacking the Chassis
The chassis should not be stacked on any other equipment. If the chassis falls, it can cause bodily injury and equipment damage.
4. Redundant Power Supply Connection - Electrical Hazard
This product includes a blank cover over the space for the redundant power supply. Do not operate the product if the blank cover is not securely fastened or if it is removed.
5. During Lightning - Electrical Hazard
During periods of lightning activity, do not work on the equipment or connect or disconnect cables.
6. Copper Cable Connecting/Disconnecting
Copper cables are heavy and not flexible, as such they should be carefully attached to or detached from the connectors. Refer to the cable manufacturer for special warnings and instructions.

Rev 1.0
Mechanical Installation
The switch platform can be rack mounted and is designed for installation in a standard 19” rack.
The power side of the switch includes a hot-swap power supply module, a blank cover for an optional second PS unit for redundancy, and 2 hot-swap fan trays. There are two possible air flow directions. Be sure that the switch air flow direction is compatible with your system, rack, and PS units. The connector side of the switch has the ports, system LEDs, and management connection ports.
The switch 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 characteristics 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 ambient temperature. Cable routing in particular should not impede the air exhaust from the chassis.
1.1.1 Installation Kits
There are two Installation kit options. One long and one short. Both the standard and the short switches can be mounted using the long rail kit.

Place the ESD mat on the floor where you will be working and put on the ESD strap. Make sure the ESD strap is touching your skin and that the other end is connected to a verified ground.
2.
Choose which side of the switch you want even with the rack vertical support. Either the side with the power supply units or the side with the QSFP connectors can be even with one of the vertical rack supports.

Consider the following when deciding where and how to mount the rails and rail slides:
The distance between the rack and the door can be as little as 1.57” (4 cm) on one side of the rack and as much as 7”(18 cm) on the other side of the rack. Keep in mind that there can be as many as
60cables connected to the switch.
• Do you want the connector side recessed in the rack to allow for a larger cable bending radius? It is possible to recess the connector side by 2” (5cm) by optional placement of the switch rails. See
• Will the connector side be recessed past other equipment in the rack and will this be problematic?
• The installation kit allows for a 2” (5cm) recess of the switch past the vertical support.

You can start connecting all of the cables to the switch.
1.4
Grounding the Switch
Check to determine if your local or national electrical codes require an external ground to all IT components. If so, connect a ground wire to one of the casing screws and connect the other end to a valid ground. If you choose to not use the ground screw, make sure that the rack is properly grounded and that there is a valid ground connection between the chassis of the switch and the rack. Test the ground using an Ohm meter.
Some national and/or local codes may require IT components to be bonded and externally grounded (not including the power cord ground). You must follow all national and local codes when installing this equipment.
1.5
Power Connections and Initial Power On
The switch platform ships witone or twoh power supply units. For switches with only one unit installed, a second PS unit may be installed at a later time. Each supply has a separate AC recep-
Mellanox Technologies 11

Mechanical Installation tacle. The input voltage is auto-adjusting for 100 - 240VAC, 50-60Hz power connections. The power cords should be standard 3-wire AC power cords including a safety ground and rated for
15A or higher.
Caution: The switch platform will automatically power on when AC power is applied.
There is no power switch. Check all boards, power supplies, and fan tray modules for proper insertion before plugging in a power cable.
Caution: After inserting a power cable and confirming the green system status LED light is on; make sure that the Fan Status indicator shows green.
If the fan status indicator is not green then unplug the power connection and check that the fan module is inserted properly and that the mating connector of the fan unit is free of any dirt and/or obstacles.
Caution: When turning off the switch, make sure ALL Connector LEDS are off to ensure a powered down status.
Do not hot swap the power supply if your switch has only one power supply. You must power down the system to replace the power supply unit when there is only one PS unit in the switch.
Figure 7: Two Power Inlets - Electric Caution Notifications
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock and energy hazard. The two PS units are independent.
Disconnect all power supplies to ensure a powered down state inside of the switch platform.

2 Configuring the Switch
Configuring the Switch
The procedures described in this chapter assume that you have already installed and powered-on your switch according to the instructions in the Switch Installation Guide, this document.
2.1
Configuring the Switch for the First Time
Step 1.
Connect the host PC to the Console (RJ-45) port of the switch system using the supplied cable.
The Console ports for systems are shown below as examples.

Make sure to connect to the Console RJ-45 port of the switch and not to the (Ethernet)
MGT port.
No remote IP connection is available at this stage.

Mellanox configuration wizard
Do you want to use the wizard for initial configuration? yes
Step1: Hostname? [switch-1]
Step 2: Use DHCP on mgmt0 interface? [no]
Comments
You must perform this configuration the first time you operate the switch or after resetting the switch. Type
‘y’ and then press <Enter>.
If you wish to accept the default hostname, then press
<Enter>. Otherwise, type a different hostname and press <Enter>.
Perform this step to obtain an IP address for the switch.
(eth0 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 ‘yes’ (yes Zeroconf), the session
will continue as shown in Table 6.
Step 3: Enable IPv6? [yes] yes
If you enter ‘no’ (no Zeroconf), then you need to enter a static IP, and the session will continue as shown in
The management interface will be able to use IPv6 addresses.
Step 4: Enable IPv6 autoconfig (SLAAC) on mgmt0 interface? [no] no
This turns on autoconfiguration of the IPv6 addresses.
This is unsuitable for DHCPv6.

This button resets both the CPU of the switch device and the CPU of the management module. It thereby resets all of the ports by bringing them down and powering them up when the button is pushed. A quick push of this button performs this reset. When the button is held down for 15 seconds the switch is reset and the password is deleted. You will then be able to enter without a password and make a new password for the user admin.
