How to use

Install the ConnectX-7 adapter into an appropriate PCIe slot or an OCP3.0 compatible bay according to your server documentation. Connect the fiber links using supported transceivers and ensure link compatibility with your switch or transceiver modules. Install the vendor-provided drivers and firmware, configure IP and RoCE settings as required, and verify operation with network performance tests. Follow standard data center procedures for handling, grounding and hot-swap operations if supported by the server.

Usage recommendations

Use vendor-supplied drivers and firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security. For AI and storage workloads, enable GPUDirect and RDMA/RoCE features where supported. Match fiber transceivers and cabling to the adapter’s speed and reach specifications and configure hardware offloads to reduce host CPU load.
