8.6 Mellanox PCI-Express HCA (SDR)
The Mellanox PCI-Express HCA supports InfiniBand protocols. It is single data rate (SDR) card
with two 4x InfiniBand 10 Gb/s ports and 128 MB memory.
Figure 8-6
shows the Mellanox
PCI-Express HCA. The Mellanox PCI–Express HCA has 128MB, a tall bracket, and is a RoHS-R5

8.6.1 Mellanox PCI-Express SDR HCA LEDs
The board has four LEDs located on the I/O panel - 2 LEDs per 4X port. The physical link (green)
illuminates once VAPI (InfiniBand Verbs API) is started and a physical connection is made
between two nodes. The data activity link (yellow) illuminates once the InfiniBand network is
discovered over the physical link. The activity link is a steady yellow when it is discovered but
