764283-B21 HPE InfiniBand FDR/10-40Gb 544+M Adapter

This is the FDR-capable version of the dual-function 544+M mezzanine adapter for HPE BladeSystem c-Class Gen9 server blades, built on Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro silicon. Both ports can run as InfiniBand, or both can run as Ethernet at 10Gb or 40Gb. A mixed setup with one InfiniBand port and one Ethernet port is not supported on this card. In a BLc7000 Platinum enclosure the InfiniBand ports reach FDR rate.

The card connects over PCI Express 3.0 x8 and uses the HPE Type A mezzanine footprint of 3.5 x 3.9 inches. FDR links signal at 56Gbps with a peak data rate of 52Gbps in each direction. Power draw is 8.3W typical and 11.0W at maximum, and the card is rated for 0 to 55 degrees C at 5 to 85 percent non-condensing humidity.

The ProLiant BL460c Gen9 is the supported blade. The adapter is designed for BLc7000 Platinum enclosures; in several c7000 enclosure part numbers it has to sit in mezzanine slot 1, and enclosures older than the Platinum models are not supported. Spare number 764735-001 is the matching replacement.

The QDR 544+M variant of this adapter stops at 40Gb InfiniBand and 10Gb Ethernet, while this FDR version adds 40Gb Ethernet and FDR InfiniBand. Linux drivers come from the Mellanox OFED stack, and Windows Server is supported as well.
