PRODUCT BRIEF
SWITCH SYSTEM
The IS5030 switch system provides the highest-performing 
fabric solutions in a 1RU form factor by delivering 2.88Tb/s of 
non-blocking bandwidth to High-Performance Computing and 
Enterprise Data Centers, with 100ns port-to-port latency. 
Built with Mellanox’s 4th generation InfiniScale
®
 
InfiniBand switch device, the IS5030 provides up 
to 40Gb/s full bidirectional bandwidth per port. 
This stand-alone switch is an ideal choice for 
top-of-rack leaf connectivity or for building small 
to medium sized clusters. The IS5030 is designed 
to carry converged LAN and SAN traffic with the 
combination of assured bandwidth and granular 
Quality of Service (QoS). 
Sustained Network Performance
The IS5030 enables efficient computing with 
features such as static routing, adaptive routing, 
and congestion management. These features 
ensure the maximum effective fabric bandwidth 
by eliminating congestion hot spots. Whether 
used for parallel computation or as a converged 
fabric, the IS5000 family of switches provides the 
industry’s best traffic-carrying capacity. 
World-Class Design
The IS5030 is an elegant top of the rack design, 
that are designed for performance, serviceability, 
energy savings and high-availability. The design is 
optimized for fitting into industry-standard racks 
and also for scale-out computing solutions from 
industry leaders. The IS5030 supports reversible 
airflow making the design fit into data centers 
with different thermal designs. Redundant and 
hot swappable power supplies and fans provide 
high availability for both High-Performance 
Computing and Enterprise Data Center applica-
tions. Status LEDs for fans and power supply units 
are placed on both sides of the system for easy 
status identification. Quick start guide, rack mount 
kit, AC power cord and RJ45 to DB9 console 
cables are provided as part of the standard 
system providing new levels of out of the box 
experience and performance. 
Management Capabilities
The IS5030 comes with an onboard subnet 
manager, enabling simple, out-of-the-box fabric 
bring up for up to 108 nodes. FabricIT™ fabric 
management running on the IS5030 enables fast 
setup for cluster bring-up, fabric-wide bandwidth 
and latency verification, and various diagnostic 
tools to check node-node, node-switch connec-
tivity and cluster topology view. FabricIT™ chassis 
management provides administrative tools to 
manage the firmware, power supplies, fans, ports, 
and other interfaces.
