Description

NVIDIA Mellanox MSX1700-BS2F2 SwitchX-2 36-Port 40GbE QSFP+ Switch: This is a 1U managed Layer 3 Ethernet switch with 36 QSFP+ ports supporting 10/40/56GbE per port, built on the Mellanox SwitchX-2 ASIC. The MSX1700-BS2F2 is an Ethernet switch chassis, not an InfiniBand director or a host adapter. Refurbished and fully tested.

Engineering Context: The 36 QSFP+ cages support 40 Gigabit Ethernet natively and can be split via approved breakout cabling for 10GbE aggregation. Layer 3 routing is supported. The chassis is 1.7 inches tall, 24.8 inches wide, and 16.9 inches deep, with redundant power supplies and a shipping weight of approximately 19.4 lb (8.8 kg). The platform is RoHS-6 compliant.

Deployment & Use Cases: Suitable for top-of-rack and end-of-row aggregation in data centers, HPC interconnect spines for 40GbE workloads, storage-network fabrics for NVMe-over-Fabrics and iSCSI, video editing/post-production networks, and SDN testbeds where OpenFlow-style programmability on a SwitchX-2 platform is needed.

Technical Specifications:

  • Manufacturer part number: MSX1700-BS2F2
  • Switch ASIC: Mellanox SwitchX-2
  • Ports: 36 x QSFP+ (10 / 40 / 56 GbE per port)
  • Routing: Layer 3 supported
  • Form factor: 1U rack-mountable / rail-mountable
  • Dimensions: 1.7 in H x 24.8 in W x 16.9 in D
  • Shipping weight: approximately 19.4 lb
  • Power: redundant power supplies (dual PSU)
  • Media support: optical fiber via QSFP+ transceivers and DAC
  • Compliance: RoHS-6
  • Manageability: managed switch (CLI, SNMP)
  • Condition: Refurbished, fully tested

Compatibility & Constraints: Works with standard QSFP+ DAC, AOC, and optical transceivers; transceiver compatibility should be verified before purchase since some firmware revisions may pin to specific vendor IDs. This is an Ethernet switch only – it is not an InfiniBand switch and does not provide IB subnet management. Breakout cabling is required if 10GbE per-link operation is desired.

Why TES IT-Solutions: Each unit is professionally tested by experienced technicians and ships in very good working condition with minimal cosmetic wear. Visit tes-itsolutions.com for catalog, compatibility questions, and bulk pricing. Standard handling time: 1–3 business days.
