Appendix B. PCIe5 x16 2-port NDR 200 GB
InniBand ConnectX-7 CAPI Capable adapter (FC
AJQS)
Learn about the specications and operating system requirements for feature code (FC) AJQS adapter.
Overview
FC AJQS is a low-prole adapter. PCIe5 x16 2-Port high data rate NDR 200 GB InniBand (IB) ConnectX-7
adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 5 (Gen5) x16 adapter. This adapter can be used in Gen
4 x16 PCIe slot in the IBM Storage Scale System 3500 system. 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.
The NDR 200 Gb adapter supports connecting to a NDR 200 Gb switch by using NDR 200 Gb cables such
as Direct Attach Copper (DAC) or Active Optical Cables (AOC). The NDR 200 Gb adapter also supports
enhanced data rate (EDR) copper and optical cables when connecting to EDR 100 Gb or HDR 200 Gb
InniBand switches. For more information about cables, ref ConnectX-7 cable matrix
.
Note: The Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) feature is supported on this adapter. The adapter may be
used as InniBand and/or Ethernet adapter.
