System Requirements
Hardware Requirements
Unless otherwise specified, products are designed to work in an environmentally controlled
data center with low levels of gaseous and dust (particulate) contamination.
The operating environment should meet severity level G1 as per ISA 71.04 for gaseous
contamination and ISO 14644-1 class 8 for cleanliness level.
The BlueField-2 DPU is designed and validated for operation in data-center servers and
other large environments that guarantee proper power supply and airflow conditions.
The DPU is not intended for installation on a desktop or a workstation. Moreover, installing
the DPU in any system without proper power and airflow levels can impact the DPU's
functionality and potentially damage it. Failure to meet the environmental requirements
listed in this user manual may void the warranty.
The below table lists the motherboard and power supply requirements per card form factor.
E-Series: Minimum 75W or greater system power supply through the PCIe x16 interface (Relevant for
HHHL
MBF2M345A-HECOT and MBF2M345A-HESOT)
DPUs
E-Series: Minimum 75W or greater system power supply through the PCIe x16 interface (Relevant for
FHHL
MBF2M516A-EECOT, MBF2M516A-EEEOT, MBF2M516A-EENOT, MBF2M516C-EECOT and MBF2M516C-
DPUs
EESOT)
P-Series: Minimum 75W or greater system power supply through the PCIe x16 interface and an
additional 75W through the supplementary 6-pin ATX power supply connector (Relevant for OPNs:
MBF2H516A-EEEOT
MBF2H516A-EENOT, MBF2H516C-EECOT and MBF2H516C-EESOT).
