PCIe3 LP 1-port 100 Gb EDR InfiniBand adapter x16 (FC EC3T and EC3U; CCIN 2CEB)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EC3T adapter.
Overview
FC EC3T and EC3U are both the same adapter with different feature codes. FC EC3T is a low-profile adapter and FC EC3U is a full-height adapter.
The PCIe Gen3 low profile x16 1-port EDR InfiniBand adapter provides high-speed connectivity with
other servers or InfiniBand switches. A maximum of 100 G assumes that no other system and or switch
bottlenecks are present. The x16 adapter allows full bandwidth in a PCIe Gen3 slot.
Note:
- The ambient environment must be less than or equal to 25°C (Celsius) and 500 M (meters) when using 12x LFF (large form factor) HDDs (hard disk drives) in the 8348-21C.
- For no ambient restrictions in the 8348-21C, keep at least two of three bays empty of LFF HDDs in the leftmost drive column.
The 100 Gb port has QSFP28 connection which supports industry standard EDR cables, either EDR DAC cables or EDR optical cables. One adapter can support either or both types of cable. You can choose to cable just one port if wanted.
