Introduction
This is the User Guide for Ethernet adapter cards based on the ConnectX®-6 Lx integrated
circuit device for OCP Spec 3.0. These adapters connectivity provide the highest
performing and most flexible interconnect solution for servers supporting OCP 3.0 used
in Enterprise Data Centers and High-Performance Computing environments.
Providing up to two ports of 25GbE or a single-port of 50GbE connectivity, and PCIe Gen
3.0/4.0 x8 host connectivity, ConnectX-6 Lx is a member of NVIDIA’s world-class, award-
winning, ConnectX family of network adapters. Continuing NVIDIA’s consistent innovation
in networking, ConnectX-6 Lx provides agility and efficiency at every scale. ConnectX-6 Lx
delivers cutting edge 25GbE performance and security for uncompromising data centers.
ConnectX-6 Lx offers IPsec inline encryption/decryption acceleration (in Crypto enabled
products) and connection-tracking hardware offload to accelerates L4 firewall
performance as part of NVIDIA ASAP².
ConnectX-6 Lx also delivers supply chain protection with hardware Root-of-Trust (RoT) for
Secure Boot (in Secure Boot enabled products) as well as Secure Firmware Update using
RSA cryptography and cloning protection, via a device-unique key, to guarantee firmware
authenticity
ConnectX-6 Lx SmartNICs are available in several form factors including low-profile PCIe
and OCP 3.0 cards with SFP28 connectors for 10/25GbE applications, or QSFP28 for
50GbE applications. OCP3.0 cards are available with either a pull tab or an internal lock
bracket. For the low-profile PCIe cards hardware user manual, please refer to ConnectX-6
Lx HHHL Cards UM.
