Voltaire / Mellanox VLT-30058 - Switch, Exact Model Not Verified
Technical Identity
VLT-30058 is the code exactly as printed on the unit. The VLT-30xxx prefix is a genuine Voltaire part-number range, so the unit can be attributed to Voltaire - later acquired by Mellanox - with reasonable confidence. What T.E.S could not find is any datasheet, manual or catalogue entry for VLT-30058 specifically. The model, port count, speed and protocol are therefore not claimed.
Engineering-sample, pre-production and unverified-part-number hardware carries no NVIDIA / Mellanox support entitlement, no manufacturer warranty, no vendor firmware entitlement and no RMA path. Sold for lab, spares and evaluation use.
Specifications
Code as printed on unit: VLT-30058
Classification: Voltaire switch, model unverified
Brand / provenance: Voltaire, later acquired by Mellanox. VLT-30xxx is a documented Voltaire code range
Owner stock description: Voltaire (Mellanox) switch, model unverified
Ports / speed / connector: Not verified. No port count or speed is claimed for VLT-30058

Warranty / support / RMA: None on any count
Quantity / stock / condition: 1 unit, EU stock, Refurbished (used, sold as-is)
Engineering Context
The VLT-30xxx range spans genuinely different products, which is why interpolation is unsafe. The T.E.S catalogue holds VLT-30011, VLT-30013, VLT-30034, VLT-30111 and VLT-30112, which are Grid Director 4036 and 4036E 36-port QDR InfiniBand switches, and VLT-30065, a Vantage 6048 48-port SFP+ 10GbE Ethernet switch. VLT-30058 sits numerically between those two families, so guessing from neighbours could place it in either line with different ports and connectors. T.E.S makes no guess.
What is known
The code VLT-30058 is printed on the unit, physically in T.E.S EU stock.
The VLT-30xxx prefix is a documented Voltaire code range, supporting Voltaire / Mellanox attribution.
Adjacent codes in the T.E.S catalogue cover two different product lines - QDR InfiniBand Grid Director and 10GbE Vantage Ethernet.
What is not yet confirmed
Whether VLT-30058 is an InfiniBand or an Ethernet switch. Neither is assumed.
Port count, port speed and connector family - QSFP, SFP+ or otherwise.
The product line and model name.
Management state, firmware and licence state.
Request Label Photos
T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS photographs the regulatory label, serial number and board markings on this exact unit before dispatch. Request photos before you commit. Pricing is subject to confirmation of the exact unit.
Use Cases
Laboratory and bench work where an unidentified Voltaire-era switch is acceptable.
Repair-donor and spares harvesting for PSUs, fan trays, cages and mechanical parts.
Identification purchases by buyers who recognise the chassis from photographs.
What This Is NOT
NOT a supported production unit. VLT-30058 was never released as a documented, supported product under this code.
NOT covered by warranty or RMA. No manufacturer warranty, no advance replacement, no vendor support route.
NOT supplied with firmware, licences, MLNX-OS entitlement or vendor documentation.
NOT equivalent to any production model. No mapping from VLT-30058 to a shipping part number is implied.
NOT specified for ports, speed, connector or protocol. No port count, Gb/s figure or cage type is claimed.
NOT supplied with rails, brackets, transceivers, cables or PSUs unless confirmed for the unit.
Compatibility & Hard Constraints
No compatibility list is published. T.E.S does not state platform compatibility for an unverified unit.
Identity verification is the buyer gate. Model, ports, speed, connector and protocol must be read off the unit first.
Connector-family caution: OSFP, QSFP-DD, QSFP56, QSFP28, QSFP+ and SFP cages are not interchangeable.
Generation caution: QDR, FDR, EDR, HDR and NDR are not interchangeable, nor Ethernet speed grades with InfiniBand generations.
Pre-deployment verification: firmware and licence state are unknown. Do not buy VLT-30058 for a production fabric.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What exactly am I buying when I order VLT-30058?
One physical unit marked VLT-30058, held in the EU. It is a Voltaire (Mellanox) switch from the VLT-30xxx range with the exact model unverified. Hardware only - no documented model, specification sheet, firmware, licence, warranty or support entitlement.
Q. Is VLT-30058 a production unit?
Probably yes as a Voltaire product line, but the specific model is unconfirmed and no production model is claimed. Voltaire-era hardware of this age carries no current manufacturer warranty, no NVIDIA support entitlement and no RMA path.
Q. Will you confirm the model before shipping VLT-30058?
T.E.S photographs the VLT-30058 code, regulatory label, serial number and chassis markings before dispatch, and will count and photograph the physical ports and connector type. That is what settles whether this is an InfiniBand or Ethernet unit - T.E.S will not settle it by inference from neighbouring part numbers.
Q. Is VLT-30058 tested?
VLT-30058 receives visual inspection and label photography. Functional testing is limited by the absence of vendor firmware and documentation, so do not assume it has been validated. Where a rig is available T.E.S will attempt a power-on check on request and report the result honestly, including a negative result.
Q. Can I get photos of the regulatory label on VLT-30058?
Yes. Request label photographs before ordering and T.E.S will photograph the label, serial number and chassis markings on the actual VLT-30058 unit that would ship. Pricing is subject to confirmation of the exact unit.
Q. Can you tell me if VLT-30058 is InfiniBand or Ethernet?
Not from the part number, and this is the key risk on this listing. The VLT-30xxx range contains both: VLT-30011, VLT-30013, VLT-30034, VLT-30111 and VLT-30112 are QDR InfiniBand Grid Director switches, while VLT-30065 is a 48-port SFP+ 10GbE Vantage switch. VLT-30058 falls between them. Request photographs of the ports and label before ordering and you will be able to tell immediately.
