1 Overview
The Mellanox BridgeX BX4010B gateway series is a 1U, top-of-rack gateway that provides server
I/O consolidation over an InfiniBand network. The product supports 10/20/40Gb/s InfiniBand to
1GigE/10GigE Ethernet and 1/2/4/8G Fibre Channel bridging. The device supports 1/10 Gigabit
Ethernet to both 1GigE/10GigE Ethernet and 2/4/8G Fibre Channel bridging
Ethernet over InfiniBand (EoIB) and Fibre Channel over InfiniBand (FCoIB) protocols are used
for I/O consolidation on a single physical InfiniBand wire.
The BridgeX Gateway is a multi-protocol bridge that enables InfiniBand connectivity to native
Ethernet and/or Fibre Channel networks. The gateway implements stateless bridging protocols by
encapsulating Ethernet over InfiniBand (EoIB) and Fibre Channel over InfiniBand (FCoIB) acting
as a packet relay, based on read-only context. Bridging with the BX4010B requires the use of Mel-
lanox ConnectX adapters on the server to implement server side processing of EoIB and FCoIB
protocols. EoIB and FCoIB capable ConnectX adapters present standard Ethernet (Sockets) and
Fibre Channel (SCSI) software interfaces to server applications providing transparent connectivity
for existing Enterprise Data Center (EDC) and High Performance Computing (HPC) applications
to Ethernet LAN and iSCSI or Fibre Channel SANs. ConnectX adapters also present a standard
InfiniBand (Verbs) software interface to server applications for Inter Process Communication
(IPC). This allows Ethernet, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand payloads to be carried over a common
converged high performance 40Gbps InfiniBand fabric without any changes to existing server
applications. Data on the converged fabric requiring access to Ethernet LAN and iSCSI or Fibre
Channel SANs is bridged by the BX4010B gateway preserving existing LAN and SAN invest-
ments and management practices.
The BridgeX BX4010B gateway along with ConnectX adapters converge different networks onto
a single fabric, reducing the number of adapters, cables and switch ports by a factor of three and
reducing capital expenditure. The high port density of the BX4010B within a 1U form factor, low
power consumption and ease of management also reduces operating expenses.
The uplink and downlink ports are separated into gateway port groups. Specific uplink ports are
assigned corresponding downlink ports.
Each gateway port group is assigned a color, in the figures in this document, to easily associate the
uplink ports to the corresponding downlink ports of the gateway port group.
The BX4010B gateway is by default enabled only for EoIB bridging. A seperate
license should be purchased from Mellanox to enable FCoIB bridging. Contact your
Mellanox representative for more details.

2.1 Unpacking the Gateway
Before you install your new BX4010-PC, unpack the system and check to make sure that all the
parts have been sent, check this against the parts list. Check the parts for visible damage that may
have occurred during shipping.
See the package contents in Section 2.3.
2.2 BridgeX Gateway Platform Hardware Overview
The figures below show dual hot-swap power supplies and the hot-swap fan module on the power
side, and and various status LEDs on the connector side.
All connectivity is via the connector panel. All connectors can support active cables.
Figure 4: BX4010 Gateway System Power and Connector Panels
2.2.1 Downlink Ports
There are four downlink ports per gateway port group. These ports have SFP+ connectors that sup-
port both direct-attach copper cables and optical cables by using SR or LR modules. The gateways
with single controllers have eight downlink ports while gateways with dual controllers have 16
downlink ports. The downlink ports are labelled alpha-numerically and the diagrams in this man-

ual are color coded to their corresponding uplink ports. The downlink ports within a gateway
group must all have the same protocol, that is either Ethernet of Fibre Channel. Different gateway
groups can have different protocols.
When configured for Ethernet, only 3 of the 4 downlink ports per gateway group are used and all
downlink ports within the gateway group must have the same speed that is 1Gbps or 10Gbps. See
Figure 1 on page 11 for the port numbers of the active Ethernet ports. When configured for Fibre
Channel all four downlink ports per gateway group can be used and each port can independently
auto-negotiate its speed to 2Gbps, 4Gbps or 8Gbps FC. To operate a port at 1Gbps FC it needs to
be manually configured.
2.2.2 Uplink Ports
There is one uplink port per gateway port group. These ports have CX4 connectors. These connec-
tors have support for powered cables and media adapter circuits. The uplink ports are labelled
alpha-numerically and also the diagrams in this manual are color coded to their corresponding
downlink ports.
2.2.3 Configuring the Port Gateway Groups
See the FabricIT BXM Management Software CLI User Manual for CLI commands to configure
the gateway. You can also configure the gateway using the WebUI.
2.2.4 Making Connections to Other Formats
Hybrid CX4 to QSFP cables are supported on the uplink side. SR and LR modules can be used on
the downlink side. The following downlink options are also supported.
• SFP+ modules for GigE
• SFP+ modules for 1/2/4/8G FC
2.2.5 SFP+ Transceiver Module
The gateways are shipped without optical modules. Approved Mellanox modules must be pur-
chased from Mellanox. The OPNs for the approved Mellanox modules are MFM1T02A-SR and
MFM1T02A-LR. The figure below shows the Mellanox approved SFP+ module.
Figure 5: SFP+ Transceiver Module
SR and LR modules not recommended by Mellanox may not work with the
adapter.

2.2.5.1 Inserting the Optical Transceiver Module
To insert the module into the cage:
1. Open the module’s locking mechanism– see Figure 6 and Figure 7.
2. Make sure that the male connectors on the module will align with the female connectors
inside of the cage. Also check that there is no dirt or foreign matter in the module or in the
cage.
Figure 6: Module With Locking Mechanism Closed

3. Insert the module into the adapter card module cage.
4. Close the locking Mechanism.
To remove the module from the cage:
1. Unlock the locking mechanism by opening the handle.
2. Pull the module out of the cage.

All fans must be operating while the power supply is plugged in. Power must be
removed within one minute of the fans failing, to prevent damage to the gateway.
The gateway can run on two of the three fans at an ambient temp of 45oC or less.
All fans must be operating while the power supply is plugged in.
If the gateway shuts down due to over temperature, unplug the gateway, wait 5 minutes
and replug in the gateway. For more information See “Troubleshooting” on page 37.

2.2.6.4 Power Supply Status Indicators
The BX4000 series gateways are available with one or two factory installed Power Supply Units.
For gateways with only one unit installed, a second Power Supply Unit can be added to increase
power supply integrity through redundancy.
Figure 9: BX4000 series Power Side Panel
The primary power supply unit (PSU1) is located on the right side of the power panel, with PSU2
on the left side. Each PSU has three status LEDs, on the right side of the PSU, that indicate the
internal status of the unit.
~AC– This LED when lit indicates input voltage between 90 and 264 Volts.
–This LED when lit indicates a fault in the power supply.
OK – This LED when lit indicates that the output from the power supply is +12VDC.
2.2.7 I2C Connector
There is an I2C connector located on the connector side panel. This connector can be used to
install firmware upgrades, should the FW image be damaged and cannot be upgraded through a
host PC or remotely.
This interface is for troubleshooting and debugging for FAEs and advanced users only.
2.2.8 Management Interfaces
The following interfaces allow access to the management module.
2.2.8.1 RS232 RJ45 Connector
This RS232 connection provides access for local management through connection to a host. The
BX series gateways can be connected to the RJ45 connector of a computer. This connection is
needed for the initial configuration of the gateway. For the initial configuration procedure for the
gateway see the Installation Guide.
