Identity
The NVIDIA Mellanox® 900-9D3B6-00CV-AA0 is a BlueField-3 QSFP112 200GbE BlueField DPU. Refurbished Grade A — bench-tested in both link and signal-integrity checks by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS.

What This Is NOT

NOT a standard NIC. BlueField DPU includes integrated ARM cores and runs a separate BlueField OS / DOCA SDK.
NOT a switch. DPU resides in a server PCIe slot.
NOT plug-and-play. Requires DOCA SDK installation + driver stack on host.
NOT bundled with cables or transceivers.


Capabilities & Features

16 ARM A72 / A78 cores running BlueField OS for offloaded networking.
NVIDIA DOCA SDK for application-level offload development.
Hardware-accelerated NVMe-oF target and initiator (storage acceleration).
Network virtualization (VXLAN, OVS offload, NAT).
Embedded security: integrated firewall, IPsec, TLS termination.
Crypto offload, key management, secure boot.


Compatibility & Constraints

Software: BlueField OS image + NVIDIA DOCA SDK for full DPU functionality.
Drivers: MLNX_OFED + DOCA host driver stack.
Slot: PCIe 5.0 x16 recommended.
Cabling: QSFP-class cables / transceivers matching the listed speed.


Deployment & Use Cases

Cloud network offload (VXLAN, NAT, firewall).
Storage acceleration (NVMe-oF target).
Edge computing with isolated security domains.
Zero-trust security with hardware-rooted TLS / IPsec.
