PCIe adapter in compute node cable routing

Use this information to route the cables for PCIe adapters in the compute node.

Shared I/O configuration for ConnectX-6

This configuration supports ConnectX-6.
Attention

Shared I/O configuration requires specific power on and power off sequence for the two nodes, see below:

  • Power on sequence: first, power on the node with main adapter (right node); then, power on the node with auxiliary adapter (left node).

  • Power off sequence: first, power off the node with auxiliary adapter (left node); then, power off the node with main adapter (right node).

Shared I/O configuration for ConnectX-7 NDR 200/ConnectX-7 NDR 400

This configuration supports ConnectX-7 NDR 200 and ConnectX-7 NDR 400.
Attention

Shared I/O configuration requires specific power on and power off sequence for the two nodes, see below:

  • Power on sequence: first, power on the node with main adapter (right node); then, power on the node with auxiliary adapter (left node).
