Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes the ConnectX-6 from previous generation adapters?
The ConnectX-6 offers double the bandwidth (200Gb/s vs. 100Gb/s), significantly improved message rates, enhanced in-network computing capabilities, and more advanced security features including hardware-accelerated encryption that meets FIPS standards.
Can this network card operate in mixed protocol environments?
The adapter can be configured for either InfiniBand or Ethernet operation per port, but both ports must run the same protocol. This network card does not support mixed protocol operation on different ports within the same adapter.
What are the thermal requirements for this adapter?
The card requires adequate airflow through the server chassis. For extended operation at maximum throughput, ensure ambient temperature does not exceed 35°C and airflow is at least 200 LFM. Proper cooling is essential for maintaining performance and reliability.
Does this adapter support SR-IOV virtualization?
Yes, this nic card supports Single Root I/O Virtualization with up to 1,000 virtual functions, providing excellent isolation and performance for virtualized environments and cloud deployments.
Installation and Compatibility Guidelines
- Verify PCIe slot generation compatibility (Gen3 or Gen4 x16 required for full performance)
- Ensure proper cooling and airflow in the server environment to maintain optimal operating temperatures
- Use qualified optical or Direct Attach Copper cables specifically designed for 200Gb/s operation
- Always update to the latest firmware and drivers available from NVIDIA to ensure compatibility and security
- Follow proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling and installation
- Check compatibility with switch infrastructure to ensure support for specific protocol features
- Review system BIOS settings to ensure proper PCIe configuration and resource allocation
