Introduction

The Cisco 4x InfiniBand Switch module for IBM BladeCenter (hereafter “Server Switch Module”) adds

InfiniBand (IB) switching capability to hosts in your IBM BladeCenter H chassis. When you add one or

two Server Switch Modules to your BladeCenter chassis and add HCA expansion cards to your

BladeCenter hosts, your hosts can communicate to one another over IB within the chassis. When you

connect the Server Switch Module to an outside IB fabric, BladeCenter hosts can communicate with all

nodes that connect to the IB network. Figure 1-1 shows the Server Switch Module.
