Adapter Specs Technology: Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro Port Type: Dual Port Data Transfer Speed: 10Gb/40Gb PCIe: 3.0x8 Mezzanine Card Protocol: Ethernet Dual port FDR InfiniBand in HPE BLc7000 Platinum Enclosures Dual-port QDR InfiniBand Dual-port 40 Gb Ethernet Dual-port 10 Gb Ethernet The 544+M Mezzanine adapters for HPE BladeSystem c-Class are based on the Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro technology. The 544+M Mezzanine adapters utilize the PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface. The 544+M Mezzanine adapters are dual function adapters that are capable of support dual InfiniBand ports or dual Ethernet ports when connected to supported Ethernet switches in c7000 enclosure (a mix mode of one InfiniBand port and one Ethernet port is not supported on 544+M Mezzanine adapters). InfiniBand FDR provides a data rate of 56 Gbps (gigabits per second), which is twice the speed of its predecessor, QDR (Quad Data Rate) InfiniBand. The higher data rate enables faster data transfers between HPC nodes and can improve the overall performance of HPC applications. The 544+M Mezzanine adapter are supported on HPE BladeSystem c-Class Gen 9 blade servers. Performance Bandwidth: All ports on FDR HCA cards and switch are capable of supporting 56Gbps signaling rate, with a peak data rate of 52 Gbps in each direction. All ports on QDR HCA card and switch are capable of supporting 40Gbps signaling rate, with a peak data rate of 32 Gbps in each direction. The 544+M: Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro
