NVIDIA ConnectX-5 MCX556A-EDAT: Dual-Port 100Gb/s InfiniBand/Ethernet Adapter

Product Overview

The NVIDIA ConnectX-5 MCX556A-EDAT is a high-performance dual-port network interface card supporting both 100Gb/s InfiniBand and Ethernet connectivity. This advanced NIC card delivers industry-leading throughput, ultra-low latency, and sophisticated offload capabilities for demanding data center environments. Featuring PCIe Gen4 support and ConnectX-5 Ex enhancements, this network adapter is engineered for high-performance computing, cloud infrastructure, and storage applications.

Key Characteristics

  • Dual QSFP28 ports supporting 100Gb/s InfiniBand and Ethernet protocols
  • PCI Express 4.0 x16 host interface with backward compatibility
  • Hardware offloads for RDMA, NVMe over Fabrics, and MPI operations
  • Advanced switching capabilities with embedded PCIe switch functionality
  • Support for both InfiniBand and Ethernet networking environments

Advanced Technologies

The ConnectX-5 network card incorporates multiple cutting-edge technologies including:

  • RDMA Technology: Enables direct memory access between systems without CPU involvement
  • NVMe over Fabrics: Hardware offloads for efficient storage access
  • PCIe Atomic Operations: Enhanced performance for compute-intensive workloads
  • Adaptive Routing: Intelligent packet routing for optimized network performance
  • Hardware-Based Virtualization: SR-IOV support with up to 512 virtual functions

Operational Principle

This intelligent network adapter operates by offloading network, storage, and compute operations from the host CPU through specialized hardware engines. The ConnectX-5 card processes network traffic at line rate, implementing protocol handling, packet filtering, and quality of service policies directly on the adapter. For RDMA operations, the NIC card enables direct memory-to-memory transfers between systems, significantly reducing latency and CPU overhead while maintaining security through memory protection mechanisms.

Application Scenarios

High-Performance Computing

Ideal for HPC clusters with MPI tag matching and rendezvous offloads for accelerated message passing interface operations.

Cloud Data Centers

Enables efficient I/O consolidation and virtualization with SR-IOV support and network function offloading.

Storage Platforms

Provides NVMe over Fabrics offloads for high-performance storage access with minimal CPU utilization.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between ConnectX-5 and ConnectX-6?

A: While both are high-performance network cards, ConnectX-6 offers higher port speeds (up to 200Gb/s) and enhanced cloud capabilities, while ConnectX-5 provides excellent performance for 100Gb/s environments with cost efficiency.

Q: Can this NIC card operate in both InfiniBand and Ethernet modes simultaneously?

A: The card can be configured for either InfiniBand or Ethernet operation, but both ports operate in the same mode concurrently.

Q: What cables are compatible with the QSFP28 ports?

A: The ports support various QSFP28 DAC cables, active optical cables, and transceivers for both short-range and long-range connectivity.

Q: Does this adapter support RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet)?

A: Yes, the ConnectX-5 fully supports RoCE v2 for RDMA operations over Ethernet networks.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

  • Ensure adequate cooling as high-performance network cards generate significant heat during operation
  • Verify PCIe slot compatibility (x16 mechanical, electrically compatible with x8 and x16)
  • Check system firmware and driver compatibility before installation
  • For optimal performance, use certified cables and transceivers
  • Follow proper ESD precautions during handling and installation
