NVIDIA Mellanox 930-9SKIT-00L0-00C — Tool-less Slide Rail Kit for the Quantum-3 Q3200 2U InfiniBand Switch
Technical Identity
The NVIDIA Mellanox 930-9SKIT-00L0-00C is a tool-less slide rail kit engineered specifically for mounting the 2U NVIDIA Quantum-3 Q3200 NDR 400Gb/s InfiniBand switch chassis into a standard 19-inch four-post EIA-310 server rack. The kit ships as a complete mechanical accessory: a pair of inner chassis rails that attach to the switch sidewalls, a pair of outer rack-side rails that anchor to the rack's front and rear posts, and the cage-nut / mounting-screw hardware required for installation. The 930-9SKIT- prefix is NVIDIA's accessory part-number scheme; the 00L0-00C suffix is the SKU revision specific to the Q3200 2U chassis form factor and is not interchangeable with rail kits for 1U Quantum-2, Spectrum-X, or BlueField appliances. The kit supports tool-less snap-in / slide-out service of the switch in racks with adjustable depth between approximately 600 mm and 900 mm post-to-post.
Specifications
Brand: NVIDIA Mellanox
Manufacturer P/N: 930-9SKIT-00L0-00C
Product type: Slide rail kit (mounting accessory)
Chassis target: NVIDIA Quantum-3 Q3200 series — 2U InfiniBand switch (NDR 400Gb/s)
Rack standard: 19-inch EIA-310 four-post rack
Form factor: Tool-less slide rails (inner + outer)
Rack depth range: Adjustable, typical 600–900 mm post-to-post
Mounting hardware: Cage nuts and M5/M6 mounting screws included
Installation: Tool-less for normal service; screwdriver only required for initial rack-side anchoring
Condition: Refurbished — visually inspected and mechanically verified by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS
What This Is NOT
NOT a fixed bracket kit. This is a slide rail assembly, not a static ear-mount; it supports inserting and withdrawing the switch on rails for service access.
NOT for 1U Quantum-2 (QM97xx) switches. Quantum-2 1U chassis use a different rail SKU and are mechanically incompatible.
NOT for Spectrum or Spectrum-X Ethernet switches. Even where the chassis depth is similar, the chassis mounting points differ.
NOT bundled with the switch chassis, transceivers, OSFP cables, PSUs, or fan trays — sold standalone as a mounting accessory.
NOT a cable-management arm (CMA). The CMA is a separate ordered accessory.
NOT a 2-post / telco rack kit. Designed for 4-post EIA-310 racks only.
Compatibility & Constraints
Switch family: NVIDIA Quantum-3 Q3200 series, 2U chassis (NDR 400Gb/s InfiniBand, OSFP).
Rack: Standard 19-inch four-post EIA-310 cabinet with square or round mounting holes; cage nuts included for square-hole rails.
Depth: Verify rack post-to-post depth is within 600–900 mm before ordering — short telco racks (≤500 mm) are not supported.
Airflow planning: The rail kit does not alter switch airflow direction (port-to-PSU or PSU-to-port). Match airflow option to the hot-aisle / cold-aisle orientation of the rack independently.
Service clearance: Allow ≥800 mm front clearance for slide-out service; rear clearance for cable bundles and PSU removal.
Earthing: Use the dedicated chassis earth stud on the switch — the rail kit is not part of the bonding path.
Verify before deploying: rack hole pattern (square vs. round), available U position (requires 2U contiguous), and that no adjacent equipment blocks slide travel.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What switch is the 930-9SKIT-00L0-00C designed for?
It is the factory rail kit for the NVIDIA Quantum-3 Q3200 series 2U InfiniBand NDR switch. It is not compatible with 1U Quantum-2 (QM97xx), Spectrum, or Spectrum-X chassis.
Q. Is it tool-less?
Yes for normal slide-in / slide-out operation after initial install. Anchoring the outer rails to the rack posts uses standard cage nuts and screws, so a screwdriver is needed for first-time installation only.
Q. Does the kit fit a 2-post telco rack?
No. The 930-9SKIT-00L0-00C is designed for 19-inch four-post EIA-310 server racks with adjustable depth in the 600–900 mm range.
Q. Are mounting screws and cage nuts included?
Yes, the kit ships with the cage nuts and M5/M6 mounting screws required for a standard rack installation.
Q. Does this kit include a cable-management arm?
No, the CMA is a separately ordered accessory and is not part of the 930-9SKIT-00L0-00C kit.
Q. What condition is supplied by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS?
Refurbished — each kit is visually inspected, the rail travel and locking mechanism are mechanically verified, and the hardware bag is checked for completeness before dispatch from EU stock with anti-static / cushioned packaging and global B2B shipping. Technical consultation for HPC / AI fabric design and mechanical installation is included at no extra cost.
