SX6036 Mellanox SX6036 36x FDR InfiniBand QSFP Rack-Mountable Managed Network Switch

Mellanox SX6036

The Mellanox SX6036 is an InfiniBand switch designed for high-performance computing clusters, AI and machine-learning workloads and research computing.

Support for FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand data rates delivers very high bandwidth with low latency between nodes. InfiniBand fabrics use hardware offloads and low-latency switching to speed up MPI, parallel file systems and distributed applications. Built-in management supports fabric monitoring and configuration. InfiniBand fabrics need a subnet manager, which runs on a managed switch or on a host server. Use it for new cluster builds or to extend an existing fabric. Non-blocking, low-latency switching helps parallel applications scale efficiently across many nodes. Connect nodes with compatible QSFP-type copper or optical cables, depending on the distance between racks.

Physically, it uses a rack-mountable format for a clean, organized installation. Low-latency interconnects improve the scaling efficiency of simulation, analytics and AI training jobs. Remote direct memory access frees CPUs from much of the communication work. Standardized switch models make cluster cabling and maintenance easier. Ordering by part number SX6036 helps you match the configuration, region and feature set exactly. Fat-tree and other non-blocking topologies can be built by combining edge switches like this with spine switches. For anyone sourcing InfiniBand connectivity, the SX6036 combines Mellanox engineering with practical, everyday performance.

5. Part Number Compatibility: Leading manufacturers such as Dell, HP, IBM, and Compaq may assign multiple identifiers to the same product, including Spare Part Numbers (Spare P/N) or FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) numbers. The item you receive may carry either designation, both of which are fully compatible and functionally equivalent.

6. Warranty Coverage: All products include a 30-day limited warranty, covering replacement in the event of DOA (Dead on Arrival) items with the same part number. Selected storage devices may qualify for an extended 90-day warranty—please confirm with our team before purchase. Additionally, manufacturer warranty options may intact for new product if any. 

7. Drivers & Installation Media: As most products are supplied in bulk packaging, installation media such as CDs, drivers, or manuals may not be included. If required, please check availability with our sales team prior to ordering.

8. Shipping Information: Standard shipping rates are automatically calculated for lightweight IT components such as memory and storage devices (under 5 lbs). For larger or heavier equipment—including servers, racks, and motherboards—shipping costs may vary. Our team will notify you if any adjustments are required. 

9. Product Images Disclaimer: All images displayed are for reference purposes only. The actual product received may differ slightly in appearance while maintaining the same specifications and performance.

10. Packaging Details: Some items may be delivered in bulk or non-retail packaging, especially for high-volume or consolidated orders. This ensures cost efficiency without compromising product quality.

11. End-of-Life (EOL) Products: For discontinued or end-of-life products, we may supply an equivalent replacement with matching specifications, functionality, and compatible FRU where necessary.

12. Refurbished Printers: Please note that refurbished printers may not include toner cartridges, or may be supplied with partially used consumables.
