Unpack the Fabric Interconnect F1-15

The Fabric Interconnect F1-15 is a 4 rack-unit Fabric Interconnect with capacity for 15 I/O modules and either 24 InfiniBand server connections at DDR speeds, or 20 InfiniBand server connections at QDR speeds.


Caution

Caution  - The Fabric Interconnect chassis weighs 100 - 130 pounds (45 - 59 kilograms) depending on its configuration. Removing the chassis from the shipping container and installing it in an equipment rack requires a minimum of two people. Attempting to unpack and install this system alone could result in equipment damage or personal injury.


To unpack the system, you will need the following tools:

  • #2 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver

  • Box cutter


    Note - Because the number and types of I/O modules are determined by the customer, I/O modules are shipped in separate boxes.

Follow this procedure for unpacking your Fabric Interconnect:

  1. Locate the shipping list and verify that the following containers are present:
    • System shipping container
    • I/O module box (1 to 15)
    • HCA box
    • Options box
    • Rail Kit box
    • Accessory Kit
    • System information packet
  2. Open the containers and verify their contents against the illustration in Unpacking Shipping Containers and Examining Contents.
