Configuring the InfiniBand Switch Module

Maintenance and configuration of the InfiniBand module within a
Windows OS is performed with Mellanox's® WinOB™ software
package. WinOB allows you to upgrade the firmware and monitor
temperature, voltages, port utilization and other switch parameters.

In a Linux environment, maintenance and configuration of the
InfiniBand module is performed with the OFED (OpenFabrics
Enterprise Distribution).

Both software packages are available to download on Mellanox's web
site:
