IBM BladeCenter
IBM BladeCenter at-a-glance guide
The 2-Port 40 Gb InfiniBand Expansion Card (CFFh) for IBM BladeCenter is a dual port InfiniBand Host 
Channel Adapter (HCA) based on proven Mellanox ConnectX IB technology. This HCA, when combined 
with the QDR switch, delivers end-to-end 40 Gb bandwidth per port. This solution is ideal for low latency, 
high bandwidth, performance-driven server and storage clustering applications in a High Performance 
Compute environment. The adapter uses the CFFh form factor and can be combined with a CIOv or CFFv 
adapter to get additional SAS, Fibre Channel, or Ethernet ports.
Figure 1 shows the expansion card.
