Lenovo ThinkSystem Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx 10/25GbE SFP28 2-Port OCP Ethernet Adapter

ConnectX-6 Lx in an OCP 3.0 module is what the Lenovo ThinkSystem Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx 10/25GbE SFP28 2-Port OCP Ethernet Adapter, part number 4XC7A62582, delivers. It has two SFP28 ports rated at 10/25GbE, and the controller is NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Lx, named under the Mellanox brand in the title.

The OCP 3.0 form is the first thing to verify. It fits a server's OCP slot and not a standard PCIe slot, so check your chassis before ordering. The benefit is that the network card does not take up a PCIe slot that other hardware could use.

Two dual-speed ports are enough for most hosts: redundant links to two switches, or one network for data and one for storage. SFP28 optics and direct attach cables are not included, so choose them based on your switch ports and cable length.

The 4XC7A62582 is offered in new, refurbished and used condition. New and refurbished units carry 1 year or 3 years of warranty, and used units carry 90 days. Send your quantity and server model to request pricing.
