PCIe4 x16 1-Port EDR 100 GB IB ConnectX-5 CAPI Capable Adapter (FC EC62 and EC63; CCIN 2CF1)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for feature code (FC) EC62 and EC63
adapters.
Overview
FC EC62 and EC63 are both the same adapter with different feature codes. FC EC62 is a low-profile
adapter and FC EC63 is a full-height adapter.
The PCIe4 x16 1-Port enhanced data rate (EDR) 100 GB Infiniband (IB) ConnectX-5 CAPI Capable
Adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 4 (Gen4) x16 adapter. The adapter enables higher HPC
performance with new Message Passing Interface (MPI) offloads, such as MPI Tag Matching and MPI
AlltoAll operations, advanced dynamic routing, and new capabilities to perform various data algorithms.
Note: The Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) feature is not supported on this adapter. The adapter must
be used only as an InfiniBand adapter.
