Introduction
NVIDIA Spectrum®based 1U switch systems are an ideal spine and Top of Rack (ToR) solution,
allowing maximum flexibility, with port speeds spanning from 10Gb/s to 100Gb/s per port, and port
density that enables full rack connectivity to any server at any speed. The uplink ports allow a
variety of blocking ratios that suit any application requirement. Powered by the NVIDIASpectrum
ASIC, the systems carry whopping switching and processing capacities in a compact 1U form factor.
Keeping with the NVIDIA tradition of setting performance record switch systems, the
NVIDIASpectrum-based systems introduce the world’s lowest latency for 100GbE switching and
routing elements, and do so while having the lowest power consumption in the market. They enable
the use of 10, 25, 40, 50 and 100GbE in a large scale without changing power infrastructure
facilities.
The NVIDIASpectrum-based 1U switch systems are a part of NVIDIA’s complete end-to-end solution,
which provides 10GbE through 100GbE interconnectivity within the data center. Other devices in this
solution include ConnectX®-4 based network interface cards, and LinkX®copper or fiber cabling/
transceivers. This end-to-end solution is topped with NEO, a management application that relieves
some of the major obstacles standing in the way when deploying a network. NEO enables a fully
certified and interoperable design, speeds up time to service and RoI. The systems introduce
hardware capabilities for multiple tunneling protocols that enable increased reachability and
scalability for today’s data centers. Implementing MPLS, NVGRE and VXLAN tunneling encapsulations
in the network layer of the data center allows more flexibility for terminating a tunnel by the
network, in addition to termination on the server endpoint.
While NVIDIA Spectrum provides the thrust and acceleration that powers the switch systems, they
get yet another angle of capabilities, running with a powerful x86-based processor, which allows
them to not only be the highest performing switch fabric elements, but also grants them the ability
to incorporate a Linux running server into the same device. This opens up multiple application
aspects of utilizing the high CPU processing power and the best switching fabric, to create a
powerful machine with unique appliance capabilities that can improve numerous network
implementation paradigms. The NVIDIA Spectrum-based 1U switch systems support the Open
Network Install Environment (ONIE) for zero touch installations of network operating systems. While
all Ethernet systems can be purchased preloaded with NVIDIA Onyx (MLNX-OS), the SN2000 switches
are offered with Cumulus Linux as well, and support SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the
Cloud) as an alternative operating system.

Safety Warnings
Prior to the installation, please review the Safety Warnings. Note that some warnings may not apply
to all models.
The rack mounting holes conform to the EIA-310 standard for 19-inch racks. Take
precautions to guarantee proper ventilation in order to maintain good airflow at ambient
temperature.

Unless otherwise specified, NVIDIA products are designed to work in an environmentally
controlled data center with low levels of gaseous and dust (particulate) contamination.
The operation environment should meet severity level G1 as per ISA 71.04 for gaseous
contamination and ISO 14644-1 class 8 for cleanliness level.

Air Flow
The systems are offered with two air flow patterns:
Power (rear) side inlet to connector side outlet - marked with blue power supplies/fans FRUs’
handles or blue dots that are placed on the power inlet side.
Air Flow Direction Marking - Power Side Inlet to Connector Side Outlet
Connector (front) side inlet to power side outlet - marked with red power supplies/fans FRUs’
handles or red dots that are placed on the power inlet side.
Air Flow Direction Marking - Connector Side Inlet to Power Side Outlet
The table below provides an air flow color legend and respective OPN designation.

The following information does not apply to SN2100/SN2010. In the SN2100/SN2010
systems, the fan units are non-replaceable.
The drawings are provided for illustration purposes only. The panel and modules
design may vary depending on the system.

All servers and systems in the same rack should be planned with the same airflow direction.
All FRU components need to have the same air flow direction. A mismatch in the air flow
will affect the heat dissipation.

Prerequisites:
Before mounting the system to the rack, select the way you wish to place the system. Pay attention
to the airflow within the rack cooling, connector and cabling options.
While planning how to place the system, consider the two installation options shown in the figure
below, and review the following points:
Make sure the system air flow is compatible with your installation selection. It is important to
keep the airflow within the rack in the same direction.
Note that the part of the system to which you choose to attach the rails (the front panel
direction, as demonstrated in Option 1 or the FRUs direction, as demonstrated in Option 2)
will determine the system’s adjustable side. The system’s part to which the brackets are
attached will be adjacent to the cabinet.
The FRU side is extractable. Mounting the rack brackets inverted to the FRU side (Option 2)
will allow you to slide the FRUs, in and out.
