Appendix B. PCIe 5 x16 dual-port NDR 200 Gb/s
InniBand and Ethernet ConnectX-7 VPI 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. PCIe Gen 5 x16 dual-port high data rate NDR 200 GB InniBand (IB)
ConnectX-7 adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 5 (Gen 5) x16 adapter. This adapter can be used
in a Gen 5 x16 PCIe slot in the IBM Storage Scale System 6000 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 Active Optical Cables (AOC). The NDR 200 Gb adapter also supports enhanced data rate (EDR) optical
cables when connecting to EDR 100 Gb or HDR 200 Gb InniBand switches. For more information, see
“Supported host interface adapters, cables, and transceivers” on page 37
.
Note: The Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) feature is supported on this adapter. The adapter may be
used as InniBand or Ethernet adapter.
