NVIDIA Mellanox MTEF-KIT-D Side-by-Side Rack Mount Kit: This is the OEM rack mounting kit (NVIDIA P/N 930-9NRKT-00JG-000) for the Mellanox MSN2100 and MSN2010 short-depth 1U switches. The kit consists of a metal carrier frame with mounting blades that allow either a single switch or two switches mounted side-by-side in a single 1U slot of a 19-inch rack. This is a passive mechanical assembly; it is NOT a switch and contains no electronics. This is a new sealed unit.
Engineering Context
The MSN2100 (32x 100GbE) and MSN2010 (18x 25GbE + 4x 100GbE) chassis are roughly half-rack-width, allowing two switches to share one 1U position. The MTEF-KIT-D carrier frame supports this dual mount and provides the rack ears, blades, and cable management hardware required to install the switches in standard-depth (600–800 mm) 19-inch racks. The frame supports proper front-to-rear airflow alignment so that a side-by-side pair preserves the cold-aisle/hot-aisle thermal model.
Deployment & Use Cases
Edge and remote-office deployments where two MSN2100 ToR switches share one rack-unit. Half-rack ToR positions for storage or management networks running on MSN2010. Out-of-band management plane consolidation in space-constrained branch racks. Lab and proof-of-concept environments needing rack-stable mounting of short-depth Mellanox switches.

Compatibility & Hard Constraints
Compatible only with the MSN2100 and MSN2010 short-depth 1U Mellanox switches. NOT compatible with full-depth 1U switches such as MSN2700 (use MTEF-KIT-A) or MSN3700/MSN3800/MSN4600 (use MTEF-KIT-F). NOT a slide / telescopic rail — the carrier is a fixed-position frame; chassis cannot be slid forward for service without partial removal. Provides no electrical or signaling function. Does not include the chassis, power supplies, fan modules, or transceivers.
