PCIe4 x16 2-Port EDR 100 GB IB ConnectX-5 CAPI Capable Adapter (FC EC64 and EC65; CCIN 2CF2)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for feature code (FC) EC64 and EC65
adapters.
Overview
FC EC64 and EC65 are both the same adapter with different feature codes. FC EC64 is a low-profile
adapter and FC EC65 is a full-height adapter.
PCIe4 x16 2-Port EDR 100 GB 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.
