E-Series: A maximum of 75W system power supply through the PCIe x16
interface (Relevant for MBF2M516A-EECOT, MBF2M516A-EEEOT, MBF2M516A-
EENOT, MBF2M516C-EECOT and MBF2M516C-EESOT )
P-Series: Minimum 75W or greater system power supply through the PCIe x16
interface and an additional 75W through the supplementary 6-pin ATX power
supply connector (Relevant for OPNs: MBF2H516A-EEEOT
MBF2H516A-EENOT, MBF2H516C-EECOT and MBF2H516C-EESOT).
Airflow Requirements
DPU is offered with one airflow pattern: from the heatsink to the network ports.
Important
The BlueField-2 DPU is designed and validated for operation in data-
center servers and other large environments that guarantee proper
power supply and airflow conditions.
The DPU is not intended for installation on a desktop or a
workstation. Moreover, installing the DPU in any system without
proper power and airflow levels can impact the DPU's functionality
and potentially damage it. Failure to meet the environmental
requirements listed in this user manual may void the warranty.
