The Mellanox M3601Q QDR Infiniband switch I/O module includes 32 4x QDR Infiniband ports. Of these, 16 ports are external uplink ports, while 16 internal ports provide connectivity to the blades in the enclosure. This module occupies two I/O module slots. By default, the M3610Q module plugs into I/O module slot C1, but occupies both slots B1 and C1. It can also be plugged into I/O module slot B1 (occupying slots A1 and B1) or slot B2 (occupying slots B2 and C2).
