Read the Cautionary Statements

Refer to the“FCC Statement” on page vii and the “Safety Information” on page vii before you install your Topspin 360.

Prepare the Physical Environment for the

Topspin 360

•Ground yourself using an approved ground wrist-strap.

•Make sure you have the right cables and sufficient ventilation.

•Unpack the Topspin 360 package.

CAUTION: Do not lift the Topspin 360 by the front and back (bezel end and service end). Lift the unit by the sides to prevent damage.

•Prepare a management workstation, such as a PC running terminal-emulation software, and a straight-through M/F DB-9 serial cable (included).

Install Topspin 360 Components

Install any gateway and switch card modules before you rack the Topspin 360, when possible. However, you may change modules while the Topspin 360 chassis is still in the rack.

For details regarding installing the switch cards, refer to “Installing an InfiniBand Switch Card” on page 42.

For details regarding installing power supplies and fans, refer to “Installing a Power Supply” on page 44 and “Installing a Blower Tray” on page 46.

For details regarding installing Fibre Channel gateways, refer to the Fibre Channel Gateway User

Guide.

For details regarding installing Fibre Channel gateways, refer to the Ethernet Gateway User Guide.

Rack the Topspin 360

To mount the Topspin 360 in a rack, perform the following steps:

1.Open the Topspin box.

2.Remove the chassis, rack brackets, CD-ROM, parts bag, and documentation.

CAUTION: Do not lift the 360 chassis by the front (bezel end) and back (service end). Lift the unit by the sides to prevent damage.

3.Place the chassis on a secure, clean surface.

4.Open the plastic bag that contains the mounting hardware.

5.Verify that the rack provides sufficient clearance for the Topspin 360.

6.Loosen the nuts on the sides of the rack brackets, then adjust the length of your brackets to fit your rack. Tighten the bracket screws when the brackets fit the rack. You can extend the brackets to 29 inches or contract them to 24 inches.
