Warning
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do
not view directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments
(for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm may pose an eye
hazard.
Statement 1056
To use InfiniBand to connect to other workstations or switches, you need standard 4x InfiniBand cables.
InfiniBand cables can be used to connect any two InfiniBand devices, whether a switch or a host.
(Figure 3-11 and Figure 3-12 show InfiniBand ports on the Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D Server
Switches.) For more information about InfiniBand cables, see the InfiniBand SDR, DDR, and QDR
Technology Overview.
Note Copper passive DDR cables are limited to 8 meters in length. If you want to use a longer SDR cable in
place of a DDR cable, the port must be comfigured manually to run an SDR rate.
