NVIDIA ConnectX Compatibility

The Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx MCX623106AN-CDAT is a dual-port 100GbE Ethernet (EN) network adapter designed for server and data-center environments, including high-performance computing (HPC), AI infrastructure, cloud networking, distributed storage, enterprise networking, and other high-bandwidth applications. NVIDIA identifies this model as a ConnectX-6 Dx EN adapter with dual QSFP56 ports.

The adapter uses a PCIe Gen 4.0 x16 host interface and is compatible with PCIe Gen 3.0 systems. The host system should provide an appropriate PCIe x16 slot along with sufficient power delivery, cooling, airflow, and physical clearance for the adapter.

The MCX623106AN-CDAT provides two QSFP56 Ethernet ports, with supported Ethernet data rates of 1, 10, 25, 40, 50, and 100Gb/s depending on the network configuration and connected infrastructure.

The MCX623106AN-CDAT is an EN Ethernet adapter, not a VPI adapter, and is intended for Ethernet networking rather than InfiniBand. NVIDIA's documentation specifically identifies the card as a ConnectX-6 Dx EN adapter.

The adapter uses a 5.59 × 2.71 inch (142.00 × 68.90 mm) form factor and a tall bracket. Verify that the intended server chassis provides sufficient physical clearance and a compatible full-height expansion slot.

For networking connectivity, the two QSFP56 ports require compatible Ethernet cables, transceivers, or optical modules. The appropriate cable or optical configuration depends on the desired Ethernet speed, switch compatibility, transmission distance, and copper or optical deployment. NVIDIA specifies support for both copper and optical QSFP56 connectivity.

The MCX623106AN-CDAT has Crypto Disabled and Secure Boot Disabled. This distinguishes it from related ConnectX-6 Dx variants such as the MCX623106AC-CDAT, which has both Crypto Enabled and Secure Boot Enabled.

The adapter is primarily intended for server and data-center environments. Desktop and workstation compatibility should not be assumed; verify PCIe compatibility, power requirements, cooling and airflow, physical clearance, firmware, and operating-system/driver support before installation.
