Product Description
NVIDIA Mellanox MQM9790-NS2R 64-Port NDR 400Gb/s InfiniBand Router
High-performance InfiniBand router delivering 64 ports of 400Gb/s full bidirectional bandwidth with 51.2Tb/s throughput and advanced routing capabilities for large-scale HPC and AI fabrics.
Product Overview
The MQM9790-NS2R is a managed router in the NVIDIA Quantum-2 series, featuring 64 QSFP56 ports running at 400Gb/s per port. Unlike standard switches, this model offers advanced routing functionality including InfiniBand subnet routing, traffic isolation, and multi-tenant network segmentation. With C2P (rear-to-front) airflow, it's ideal for data center racks requiring rear cold-aisle configurations.
The integrated x86 dual-core CPU runs MLNX-OS, enabling comprehensive on-box management including integrated subnet manager and advanced routing protocols for large-scale fabrics.
Key Features
- 64 x 400Gb/s Ports: Full bidirectional bandwidth with QSFP56 connectors
- 51.2Tb/s Throughput: Non-blocking aggregate switching capacity with ultra-low latency
- Advanced InfiniBand Routing: Subnet routing, traffic isolation, and multi-tenant segmentation
- In-Network Computing (SHARP v3): Hardware-accelerated collective offload reduces MPI operations time
- Managed with MLNX-OS: On-board dual-core x86 CPU with 8GB RAM and 32GB SSD
- 1+1 Redundant Power & Fans: Hot-swappable 80 Gold+ power supplies with C2P airflow
- High Efficiency: ATIS weighted power consumption as low as 180W when fully populated
Router Capabilities
The MQM9790-NS2R provides advanced InfiniBand routing features beyond standard switching:
- Subnet-to-subnet routing for multi-tier fabrics
- Traffic isolation and virtual fabric support
- Multi-tenant network segmentation
- Enhanced forwarding tables for large-scale deployments
- Integration with UFM for routing policy management
Airflow Direction
This model features C2P (rear-to-front) airflow, drawing cool air from the rear and exhausting hot air through the front. For front-to-rear cooling, order the MQM9790-NS2F model.
In-Network Computing with SHARP v3
NVIDIA SHARP v3 technology enables the router to perform collective operations such as MPI reductions directly within the network fabric, drastically reducing MPI operation time and freeing CPU cores for application computation.
Typical Deployments
- Large-Scale HPC Clusters: Interconnecting multiple subnets in petascale computing environments
- Multi-Tenant AI Infrastructure: Network isolation for AI training and inference workloads
- Spine Routing in Fat-Tree Fabrics: Routing layer between leaf switches in large InfiniBand networks
- Enterprise Data Centers: High-performance storage, database, and compute workloads
- Cloud and Bare-Metal Infrastructures: Multi-tenant environments requiring high-bandwidth, low-latency fabrics

Buyer Checklist
✔ Confirm airflow direction (C2P rear-to-front for this model)
✔ Verify power input voltage (100-240VAC)
✔ Choose router (MQM9790) or switch (MQM9700) based on routing needs
✔ Select appropriate QSFP56 cables or optics
✔ Check rack depth compatibility (590.6mm / 27")
✔ Plan for 1U spacing and cooling clearance
✔ Design routing topology for multi-subnet deployments
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between MQM9790-NS2R and MQM9700-NS2R?
The MQM9790 is an InfiniBand router with advanced routing capabilities, while the MQM9700 is a standard switch. Both share the same hardware platform but the MQM9790 supports subnet routing and multi-tenant segmentation.
What is the difference between MQM9790-NS2R and MQM9790-NS2F?
The only difference is airflow direction. NS2F has P2C (front-to-rear) airflow, while NS2R has C2P (rear-to-front) airflow. All other specifications are identical.
Can this router be used with HDR or EDR adapters?
Yes, the Quantum-2 series is backward compatible with HDR (200Gb/s) and EDR (100Gb/s) InfiniBand technologies.
