ConnectX-6 adapters are supported by NVIDIA/Mellanox drivers for supported Windows operating systems. Verify the specific Windows version, driver release, firmware requirements, and networking features required for the intended deployment.

Yes. The MCX653106A-HDAT can be used for Ethernet networking on supported Windows systems with the appropriate NVIDIA/Mellanox network drivers. Verify the specific Windows version and driver release before installation.

InfiniBand support depends on the supported Windows version, NVIDIA/Mellanox driver release, and specific deployment configuration. Verify current ConnectX-6 driver documentation before deploying the adapter for InfiniBand under Windows.

The MCX653106A-HDAT is intended for server and data-center environments that provide an appropriate PCIe x16 slot, sufficient power delivery, cooling, airflow, physical clearance, and compatible operating-system and driver support.

Compatibility with desktop or workstation systems should not be assumed. The adapter is designed primarily for server and data-center environments and requires appropriate PCIe connectivity, power, cooling, airflow, physical clearance, firmware, and driver support.

The adapter uses two QSFP56 ports and requires compatible QSFP56 cables, transceivers, or optical modules. The appropriate solution depends on whether the adapter is being used for Ethernet or InfiniBand, as well as the desired link speed, switch compatibility, transmission distance, and network configuration.

Yes. The adapter provides two QSFP56 ports, with each port capable of supporting networking speeds up to 200Gb/s when connected to compatible infrastructure. Actual link speed depends on the switch, cable or transceiver, protocol, and network configuration.

The MCX653106A-HDAT supports Ethernet networking at speeds of 1/10/25/40/50/100/200 Gb/s, with the actual supported link rates depending on the network configuration, connected switch, and compatible QSFP56 cabling or optics.

The MCX653106A-HDAT supports HDR InfiniBand at up to 200Gb/s. Actual link speed depends on the connected InfiniBand switch, cable, network configuration, and supported protocol.
