PCIe3 LP 2-port 56 Gb FDR IB Adapter x16 (FC EL3D; CCIN 2CE7)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EL3D adapter.
Overview
The PCIe Gen3 low profile x16 2-port FDR Infiniband adapter provides high speed connectivity with other servers or IB switches. Each port maximum of 56Gb assumes no other system and/or switch bottlenecks are present. The x16 adapter allows full bandwidth in a PCIe Gen3 slot.
The two 56 Gb ports have QSFP+ connections which support industry standard FDR cables, either FDR DAC cables, or FDR optical. One adapter can support either or both types of cable. The user can choose to cable up just one port if they desire.

Note: The LEDs that are shown in Figure 1 indicate the following states:
- A lit solid amber LED (left LED) indicates a good physical link.
- A flashing amber LED (left LED) indicates a problem with the physical link.
- If neither the amber LED (left LED) or the green LED (right LED) is lit, then the physical link has not been established.
- The amber LED (left LED) turns off when the logical link is established.
- A lit solid green LED (right LED) indicates a valid logical (data activity) link without data transfer.
- A flashing green LED (right LED) indicates a valid logical link with data transfer.
- If only the amber LED (left LED) is lit and the green LED (right LED) is off, then the logical link has not been established.
