PCIe3 x16 1-port 100 Gb EDR InfiniBand adapter (FC EC3T and EC3U; CCIN 2CEB)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EC3T and ECTU adapter.
Overview
FC EC3T and EC3U are both the same adapter with different feature codes. FC EC3T is a low-profile adapter and FC EC3U is a full-height adapter.
The PCIe Gen3 x16 1-port EDR InfiniBand adapter provides high-speed connectivity with other servers or InfiniBand switches. A maximum of 100 G assumes that no other system and or switch bottlenecks are present. The x16 adapter allows full bandwidth in a PCIe Gen3 slot.
The 100 Gb port has QSFP28 connection which supports industry standard EDR cables, either EDR DAC
cables or EDR optical cables. One adapter can support either or both types of cable. You can choose
to cable just one port if wanted.
Note: The Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) feature is not
supported on this adapter. The adapter must be used only as an InfiniBand adapter.
