What is the port configuration of the Dell Mellanox M4001T?

It has 32 non-blocking InfiniBand ports: 16 internal ports connecting to server blades in the PowerEdge M1000E chassis and 16 external QSFP+ ports for fabric uplinks. This provides full bisectional bandwidth at 40Gb/s FDR10, ensuring no congestion between blades or to external networks.

What performance specs does the M4001T offer?

Delivers 40Gb/s per port (FDR10), up to 3.584Tb/s switching capacity, and 170ns port-to-port latency. Features include adaptive routing, congestion control, QoS, and 9 virtual lanes, making it ideal for high-throughput scale-out fabrics in datacenters.

Is the M4001T compatible with PowerEdge M1000E?

Yes, it is a dedicated blade chassis module for the PowerEdge M1000E, providing seamless integration with 16 internal ports to blades. It maximizes I/O utilization and supports ConnectX-3 mezzanine cards for clustered applications.

What cabling options are supported?

Uses 16 QSFP+ connectors compatible with passive/active copper cables or fiber optics. This flexibility supports short-reach datacenter links or longer distances, with per-port status LEDs for easy troubleshooting.

What is the power consumption and form factor?

For the FDR10 model, it consumes 80W typical and 85W max, with dimensions 12.2 x 1.34 x 10.7 inches. The compact blade design fits perfectly in M1000E chassis, offering low power for dense deployments.

What management features are available?

Includes I2C interface via RJ45 connector, support for OpenSM or third-party subnet managers, port mirroring, and system LEDs. This enables straightforward configuration and monitoring in large InfiniBand fabrics.

Product overview

The Dell Mellanox M4001T is a high-performance InfiniBand blade switch designed for the PowerEdge M1000E chassis. It features 32 non-blocking ports: 16 internal ports connecting to server blades and 16 external QSFP ports for fabric expansion. Operating at 40Gb/s FDR10 speed per port, it delivers up to 3.584Tb/s switching capacity with 170ns port-to-port latency. This ensures full bisectional bandwidth, eliminating fabric congestion and maximizing I/O utilization across blades. Key capabilities include adaptive routing, congestion control, QoS, and support for 9 virtual lanes (8 data + 1 management). Compatible with copper and fiber cabling, it offers low power consumption (80W typical for FDR10) and easy deployment via I2C/RJ45 management and OpenSM. Ideal for scale-out computing in datacenters, HPC clusters, and cloud environments requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects between servers and storage.
