Lenovo 00D9690 Mellanox ConnectX-3 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter network card

SKU CH-QE04-AZ417

Adds dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to Lenovo System x servers

  • High-bandwidth 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for demanding workloads
  • Low-latency performance accelerates server and storage clustering applications
  • CPU offload technology frees processor power for core application tasks
  • Advanced acceleration enables cluster scalability to tens of thousands of nodes
  • Designed for Lenovo System x integration with part number 00D9690

Lenovo System x 10 GbE Adapter

This network interface card carries Lenovo part number 00D9690 and is built on the Mellanox ConnectX-3 controller. It provides a 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection for Lenovo System x servers. The adapter targets high-performance computing environments that demand high bandwidth and low latency. CPU offload capabilities free processor cycles for application workloads.

Suited for HPC clustering workloads

The card fits System x platforms needing InfiniBand or 10 GbE connectivity with RDMA and send/receive offload. Buyers who require a different port count or a higher link speed should look at other adapters. Shoppers without System x hardware will need a card validated for their own platform.

10 Gigabit Ethernet link speed

The single specification that determines fit is the 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface. Confirm the server has a compatible slot and that the network fabric operates at this speed. No other speed or interface is supported by this adapter.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single-port or dual-port version of the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter?

The Lenovo 00D9690 is a dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter providing two SFP+ connections for redundant links or link aggregation.

What does the 10 Gigabit rating mean for actual throughput in a server?

Each port delivers up to 10 Gb/s line rate with Mellanox ConnectX-3 hardware offloads that reduce CPU overhead for RDMA and send/receive operations.

Which bus interface does the ConnectX-3 10 Gigabit Adapter use and what bandwidth does it provide?

The card uses a PCI Express x8 slot, supplying sufficient bandwidth for dual 10 Gb/s traffic without host-bus bottlenecks.
