Serial Number and Product Version Information
The serial number, GUID and the MAC for the gateway are found on the pull out tab on the right
side of the Connector side panel below the CONSOLE connector. One MAC is for the mgmt0
management interface (the top Ethernet port). The second interface mgmt1 has the next consecu-
tive MAC.

Ethernet Ports
The gateway contains 8 ports of 40GbE. Each port can be connected with QSFP cables and con-
nectors for 40Gb/s speed, or 10Gb/s speed when connecting through QSA Mellanox adaptors.
Specific ports can be manually configured through the CLI management interface.
Each QSFP port is capable of up to 40GbE, upgradable to 56 GbE with a license, as well as
10GbE with a QSA, QSFP to SFP+ adapter or QSFP to SFP+ cables.

FDR Transmission Rate
Mellanox systems support FDR (fourteen data rate), an InfiniBand data rate, where each lane of a
4X port runs a bit rate of 14.0625 Gb/s with a 64b/66b encoding, resulting in an effective band-
width of 56.25 Gb/s. The FDR physical layer is an IBTA specified physical layer using advanced
block types, deskew mechanism and framing rules for supporting higher speeds and increased
reliability.
40 GbE and 56 GbE are only guaranteed to work with approved cables and modules.
56GbE is operational on Mellanox 56Gb/s VPI cables only.
