Mid-plane upgrade to C7000 to support Quad Data Rate (QDR) Infiniband?
Kevin was looking to get a customer to be able to use the new QDR InfiniBand module in a c7000 enclosure. Quad Data Rate gets you to a 40Gb/sec. bandwidth on each link:
******************************************************************************
In order to support the QDR Infiniband modules, a new C7000 (507xxx-B21) is needed. What if you have an older chassis? Is it possible to upgrade the mid-plane? The QuickSpecs don’t seem to offer that up.
******************************************************************************
Jeroen provided clarification:
****************************************************************************
No you cannot upgrade the Midplane; its advised that the customer procure a new c7000 Enclosure that will support the QDR InfiniBand data rates.

Are you using InfiniBand? What have been your experiences? Let us know!!
