MQM9700-NS2F – Modular HDR 200Gb/s InfiniBand Switch for Extreme Scalability
The NVIDIA MQM9700-NS2F is a director-class, modular HDR InfiniBand switch chassis positioned for hyperscale clusters, HPC centers, and large AI training fabrics that require extreme port density and non-blocking throughput. It suits infrastructure buyers building or expanding 200Gb/s InfiniBand backbones, particularly where hot-swappable line cards, power, and fans are needed to keep maintenance windows short. Note that port counts scale through line cards, so final configuration should be planned against rack space, power budget, and fabric topology.
Key specifications (table)
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model / Part Number | MQM9700-NS2F (920-9B210-00FN-0M0) |
| Brand | NVIDIA (Mellanox platform) |
| Architecture | Modular chassis, director-class form factor |
| Switching Capacity | Up to 320 Tb/s (aggregate, full chassis) |
| Max Ports | Up to 800 HDR 200Gb/s ports via line cards (depends on populated configuration) |
| Latency | Sub-microsecond (typical for HDR fabric) |
| Management | Mellanox Unified Fabric Manager (UFM), CLI, SNMP, REST API |
| Hot-swappable Components | Fans, power supplies, and line cards |
| Airflow Direction | Front-to-back, optimized for modern data centers |
| Cooling | Redundant modular fans with smart airflow control |
| Reliability | Redundant power, high-availability design |
Good to know
- Verify airflow direction matches your cold/hot aisle layout before ordering; front-to-back airflow must align with rack-level cooling design to avoid thermal throttling or bypass issues.
- As a director-class chassis, this sits above fixed-configuration HDR switches in NVIDIA’s InfiniBand family, offering modular line-card scaling up to 800 HDR 200Gb/s ports versus fixed port counts on smaller platforms.
- Confirm line card population, power feed redundancy, and UFM licensing requirements with your sales contact prior to purchase, since the maximum port capacity depends on the configured card count.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
