Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What is the Dell 0CY7GD?
Dell OEM Mellanox ConnectX-6 VPI: single QSFP56 port at full HDR 200Gb/s — InfiniBand HDR or 200GbE Ethernet. Dell PowerEdge qualified.
Q. Is 0CY7GD HDR 200G capable?
Yes — full HDR 200Gb/s per port via InfiniBand HDR or 200GbE Ethernet (VPI dual-protocol).
Q. How does 0CY7GD differ from 07TKND?
0CY7GD runs full HDR 200Gb/s. 07TKND runs HDR100 at 100Gb/s. Both are single-port ConnectX-6 VPI Dell OEM adapters.
Q. Can 0CY7GD be used in non-Dell servers?
Possibly — Dell OEM firmware may restrict operation in third-party hosts. Reflash to NVIDIA generic firmware where licensing permits, and verify before deploying.
