HPEP24248-001

MCX653105A-ECAT InfiniBand HDR100 / 100 GbE Single-Port QSFP56 Network Adapter

The HPEP24248-001 is a high-performance Network Adapter offering a single QSFP56 port capable of supportingHDR100 InfiniBand or 100 GbE Ethernet connectivity. Designed primarily for HPEProLiant Gen10 Plus servers, Apollo systems, and Synergy platforms, it delivers ultra-low latency communication with full line-rate throughput. Ideal for high-performance computing, storage clustering, or inter-server fabrics, this adapter reduces CPU overhead via intelligent offload mechanisms. Whether deployed in InfiniBand fabrics or manual Ethernet networks, it ensures reliable, high-bandwidth networking for demanding enterprise workloads

Features

This adapter is built on Mellanox ConnectX-6 series technology (MCX653105A-ECAT) and plugs into a PCIe 4.0 ×16 (or ×8) slot, enabling full-speed data transfers with either DAC or AOC QSFP56 cabling. It supports line-rate 100 Gbps in both InfiniBand HDR100 and Ethernet modes, ensuring compatibility across varied high-speed fabric deployments. The card features advanced offloading capabilities×including MPI tag matching, rendezvous, adaptive routing, and RDMA acceleration×to reduce latency and improve CPU utilization. It's purpose-built for dense compute environments like HPC clusters and storage fabric topologies.

Advanced Options

Engineered for top-tier data center performance, this adapter delivers full 100 Gbps throughput with sub-microsecond latency in InfiniBand mode and line-rate in Ethernet mode. Offload engines×such as MPI tagging and adaptive routing×streamline messaging in compute-intensive environments while minimizing CPU load.
