The HP 4X QDR IB CX-2 Dual-port Mezzanine HCA for HP BladeSystem c-Class is based on the Mellanox ConnectX-2 IB technology.
The QDR IB HCA delivers low-latency and up to 40Gbps (QDR) bandwidth for performance-driven server and storage clustering
applications in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and enterprise data centers. Parallel or distributed applications running on multi-
processor multi-core servers will benefit from the reliable transport connections and advanced multicast support offered by ConnectX
IB. End-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) enables partitioning and guaranteed service levels while hardware-based congestion control
prevents hot spots from degrading the effective throughput. The HP 4X QDR IB CX-2 Dual-port Mezzanine HCA card is designed for
PCI Express 2.0 x8 connectors on HP BladeSystem c-Class G6 server blades. Depending on the server blade models, some
configuration rules may apply which may result in only one port being connected to the enclosure mid-plane. Please refer to server
blades specification for more details.
The HP 4X DDR IB Dual-port Mezzanine HCA for HP BladeSystem c-Class is based on the Mellanox ConnectX IB technology. The
DDR IB HCA delivers low-latency and up to 20Gbps (DDR) bandwidth for performance-driven server and storage clustering
applications in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and enterprise data centers. The HP 4X DDR Dual-port Mezzanine HCA card is
designed for PCI Express connectors on HP BladeSystem c-Class server blades. To obtain the best performance, it is recommended to
plug the card into the x8 PCI Express connector on the server blades. Depending on the server blade models, some configuration
rules may apply which may result in only one port being connected to the enclosure mid-plane. Please refer to server blades
specification for more details.
InfiniBand host stack software (driver) is required to run on servers connected to the InfiniBand network. For mezzanine HCAs based
on Mellanox technologies, HP supports Mellanox OFED and Voltaire OFED driver stacks on Linux 64-bit operating systems, and
Mellanox WinOF driver stack on Microsoft Windows (HPC) server 2008.
A right-to-use (RTU) license is required for Voltaire OFED driver stack. For the latest information on Voltaire OFED software, please refer
