NVIDIA Quantum-2 MCS9500 Modular InfiniBand Switch (MCS9500) – Managed

The NVIDIA Quantum-2 MCS9500 Modular InfiniBand Switch is a modular InfiniBand switch with Up to 2,048x 400Gb/s NDR InfiniBand ports. It is built for large AI and high-performance computing clusters. Management features help segment and prioritise network traffic. It installs in minutes.

Fast, dependable switching for every port.

Scalable InfiniBand Fabric for AI and HPC

Large AI and HPC clusters need non-blocking, low-latency interconnects; building them from many fixed switches adds cabling, hops and management overhead.

The NVIDIA Quantum-2 MCS9500 Modular InfiniBand Switch consolidates Up to 2,048x 400Gb/s NDR InfiniBand ports in one modular chassis, giving the cluster a high-radix spine with fewer hops and simpler cabling.

Ports and Performance

Ports: Up to 2,048x 400Gb/s NDR InfiniBand ports.

Management and Installation

VLANs, QoS and monitoring from a central management tool. Scales port density as the cluster grows. Modular director-class chassis and Up to 1.6 Pb/s aggregate bandwidth.

Setup Instructions

How to Set Up the NVIDIA Quantum-2 MCS9500 Modular InfiniBand Switch

1. Install the chassis in the rack, then fit power supplies, fans and line/fabric modules.
2. Connect management ports and power on the system.
3. Configure the fabric with NVIDIA UFM or the switch CLI.
4. Cable compute nodes and leaf switches with NDR-rated cables or transceivers.
