Introduction

Product Overview

This is the user guide for InfiniBand/Ethernet adapter cards based on the ConnectX-6 integrated circuit device. ConnectX-6 connectivity provides the
highest performing low latency and most flexible interconnect solution for PCI Express Gen 3.0/4.0 servers used in enterprise datacenters and high-
performance computing environments.
ConnectX-6 Virtual Protocol Interconnect® adapter cards provide up to two ports of 200Gb/s for InfiniBand and Ethernet connectivity, sub-600ns latency
and 200 million messages per second, enabling the highest performance and most flexible solution for the most demanding High-Performance Computing
(HPC), storage, and datacenter applications.
ConnectX-6 is a groundbreaking addition to the NVIDIA ConnectX series of industry-leading adapter cards. In addition to all the existing innovative features
of past ConnectX versions, ConnectX-6 offers a number of enhancements that further improve the performance and scalability of datacenter
applications. In addition, specific PCIe stand-up cards are available with a cold plate for insertion into liquid-cooled Intel® Server System D50TNP
platforms.
ConnectX-6 is available in two form factors: low-profile stand-up PCIe and Open Compute Project (OCP) Spec 3.0 cards with QSFP connectors. Single-port,
HDR, stand-up PCIe adapters are available based on either ConnectX-6 or ConnectX-6 DE (ConnectX-6 Dx enhanced for HPC applications).

Make sure to use a PCIe slot that is capable of supplying the required power and airflow to the ConnectX-6 as stated in Specifications.
