A system with a PCI Express x16 slot for OCP spec 3.0 is required for installing the card.
Airflow Requirements
ConnectX-6 Lx adapter cards are offered with two airflow patterns: from the heatsink to
the network ports, and vice versa, as shown below.
Please refer to the "Specifications" chapter for airflow numbers for each specific card
model.
Hot Aisle Cooling
Heatsink-to-port Airflow Direction
Cold Aisle Cooling
Port-to-heatsink Airflow Direction
For proper operation and performance, please make sure to use a
PCIe slot with a corresponding bus width and that can supply
sufficient power to your card. Refer to the Specifications section of
the manual for more power requirements.
Important
All cards in the system should be planned with the same airflow
direction.
