PCIe4 x16 1-Port EDR 100 GB IB ConnectX-5 CAPI Capable Adapter (FC EC62 and EC63; CCIN 2CF1)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for feature code (FC) EC62 and EC63 adapters.
Overview
FC EC62 and EC63 are both the same adapter with different feature codes. FC EC62 is a low-profile adapter and FC EC63 is a full-height adapter.
The PCIe4 x16 1-Port enhanced data rate (EDR) 100 GB Infiniband (IB) ConnectX-5 CAPI Capable
Adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 4 (Gen4) x16 adapter.
The adapter enables higher HPC performance with new Message Passing Interface (MPI) offloads, such
as MPI Tag Matching and MPI AlltoAll operations, advanced dynamic routing, and new capabilities to
perform various data algorithms.
Note: The Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) feature is not
supported on this adapter. The adapter must be used only as an InfiniBand adapter.
