for details).
ML2 network adapters are supported in the ML2 slot 1 supplied by the ML2 Riser Card (part number
00KA063).
PCIe x16 Low Profile network adapters are supported in the full-height PCIe x16 slots supplied by the
riser cards 1 and 2 (
Note: Omni-Path adapters are not supported in the PCIe slot 1).
PCIe x4 and x8 Low Profile network adapters are supported in the low profile and full-height PCIe x8
and x16 slots supplied by the riser cards 1 and 2.
Some adapters require supported transceivers or DAC cables to be purchased for the adapter. The
maximum number of transceivers or cables that are supported per adapter equals the quantity of the
adapter ports, and all adapter ports must have the same type of the transceiver or cable selected.
The following transceiver and cables can be purchased:
Transceivers and cables for 10 GbE SFP+ adapters
Transceivers and cables for 25 GbE SFP28 adapters
Transceivers and cables for 40 GbE QSFP+ adapters
Cables for Mellanox FDR InfiniBand QSFP adapters
Transceivers and cables for 100 GbE QSFP28 network adapters
