Optional 40Gbe Pci Express Adapter Card - Dell PowerEdge C8000 Setup Manual

Optional 40GbE PCI Express adapter card

One of the options available with the C8220 and C8220X sleds is a Mellanox
dual-port InfiniBand® 40GbE PCI Express expansion card. Figure 12 shows two C8220X
sleds with an InfiniBand 40GbE card installed in each and network cables attached.
When using 40GbE network adapters, the two embedded 1Gb NIC connectors may be
unnecessary and therefore not connected.
