Dell ConnectX-3 Mezzanine for PowerEdge M640

This Dell ConnectX-3 mezzanine card adds dual-port 56 Gb InfiniBand FDR connectivity to a PowerEdge M640 blade server. It uses the MCX380A-FCAA controller and ships as part number 8PTD1. The card installs in the dedicated mezzanine slot to provide high-speed fabric access.

Suited for clusters that need 56 Gb FDR links

This module suits administrators expanding an existing FDR fabric on supported Dell blades. It does not meet the needs of buyers who require EDR or HDR bandwidth, Ethernet RoCE transport, PCIe add-in form factors, or connectivity for servers other than the PowerEdge M640.
