ConnectX-8 adapter cable routing

This section provides cable routing information for the ConnectX-8 InfiniBand adapter.

Note
Depending on the riser bracket, the cable routing might be slightly different from the following illustrations.

ConnectX-8 adapter cable routing in scenario 1

Scenario 1:
  • Table 1: The server is equipped with one processor and one ConnectX-8 adapter (cable 1).

  • Table 2: The server is equipped with two processors and two ConnectX-8 adapters (cable 1 and cable 2)
