About This Manual This manual describes how to install and operate an InfiniBand interconnect as part of an HP Cluster Platform. This manual limits detailed information and procedures for cluster components that have their own documentation, such as the cluster nodes, network switches, and system racks. This manual contains references to the component documentation, which should be readily available during the installation procedure. Organization An HP Cluster Platform model consists of the following three elements: • A core of common components such as the rack and power components. • A number of server models from the same server family, such as HP ProLiant DL-series or HP Integrity rx-series. • A cluster high-speed interconnect, such as the Voltaire InfiniBand interconnect documented in this manual The information in this guide is organized as follows: Chapter Description Chapter 1: InfiniBand Technology Overview Describes the InfiniBand standard, and its implementation in the supported Voltaire interconnect models. Chapter 2: Installing and Describes how to install, maintain, and operate the 24-port Voltaire interconnect model Maintaining the ISR 9024 ISR 9024. Interconnect Chapter 3: Installing and Maintaining the ISR 9024 S/D Interconnect (RoHS Compliant) Describes how to install, maintain, and operate the 24-port Voltaire interconnect model ISR 9024 S/D (RoHS Compliant). Chapter 4: Installing and Describes how to install, maintain, and operate the 96-port Voltaire interconnect model Maintaining the ISR 9096 ISR 9096 and the 288-port Voltaire interconnect model ISR 9288. and ISR 9288 Interconnects Chapter 6: Installing Describes how to install field-replaceable units (modules) in the 288-port Voltaire Field-Replaceable Units in interconnect model ISR 9288. the ISR 9XXX Chassis Chapter 7: Cabling the Interconnect Describes how make cable connections between the interconnect and the cluster nodes or other HCA destinations. Chapter 8: Installing and Describes how to install, maintain, and operate the various PCI HCA cards used in HP Maintaining HCA Cards Cluster Platform. and Mezzanines Chapter 9: Postinstallation Describes basic troubleshooting and interconnect operational verification after you install Troubleshooting and an interconnect chassis in a cluster.
