NVIDIA MCX755106AS-HEAT ConnectX-7 200GbE / NDR200 InfiniBand Dual QSFP112 PCIe 5.0 x16 (Refurbished)
Technical Identity
The NVIDIA Mellanox MCX755106AS-HEAT is a refurbished ConnectX-7 Network Interface Card (NIC). It provides 200GbE Ethernet or NDR200 InfiniBand connectivity via two QSFP112 ports, with a PCIe 5.0 x16 host interface in HHHL (Half-Height, Half-Length) form factor. As a VPI dual-protocol adapter, each port can be independently configured for Ethernet or InfiniBand. Supports 200/100/50/40/25/10/1GbE Ethernet and NDR200/HDR/HDR100/EDR InfiniBand link speeds. Crypto Disabled, Secure Boot Enabled. PCIe 5.0 x16 also supports x16 PCIe extension for Socket-Direct configurations. Condition: Refurbished.

What This Is NOT
- NOT a standalone server, storage device, or compute unit
- NOT a switch or router - this is a host network adapter for PCIe server installation
- NOT supplied with cables, transceivers, or optical modules unless explicitly stated
- NOT a BlueField DPU - the MCX755106AS-HEAT is a ConnectX-7 NIC without DPU Arm cores or onboard DRAM
- NOT a replacement for a different MPN - verify exact part number, PCIe slot, and software support before ordering
Compatibility and Hard Constraints
- Requires a server PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for full dual-port 200GbE/NDR200 throughput; backward compatible with PCIe 4.0/3.0 at reduced bandwidth
- Pairs with Quantum-2 (QM9700/QM9790) NDR InfiniBand switches at NDR200 speed
- Pairs with Spectrum-4 (SN5600) 800GbE Ethernet switches and Spectrum-3 (SN4000) 400GbE Ethernet switches at 200GbE breakout
- Requires QSFP112 transceivers or QSFP112 DAC/AOC cables; not electrically compatible with QSFP56/QSFP28/OSFP without adapters
- OS/driver support: MLNX_OFED (Linux), WinOF-2 (Windows), VMware ESXi native driver
- Firmware update via NVIDIA mlxup utility recommended after installation
- Typical platforms: NVIDIA DGX and HGX AI servers, dual-socket Intel Xeon Sapphire/Emerald Rapids and AMD EPYC Genoa/Bergamo servers with PCIe 5.0
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MCX755106AS-HEAT?
The MCX755106AS-HEAT is a refurbished NVIDIA ConnectX-7 dual-port QSFP112 network adapter card. It provides 200GbE Ethernet or NDR200 InfiniBand connectivity with a PCIe 5.0 x16 host interface, designed for AI, HPC, cloud, and enterprise data-center servers.
What speed does this card support?
Each QSFP112 port supports up to 200GbE Ethernet or NDR200 InfiniBand (200Gb/s per port). The card auto-negotiates down to 100/50/40/25/10/1GbE Ethernet and HDR/HDR100/EDR InfiniBand speeds. Full NDR400 (400Gb/s per port) is available on the -NEAT variant.
Does this support InfiniBand and Ethernet on the same card?
Yes. The MCX755106AS-HEAT is a VPI (Virtual Protocol Interconnect) dual-protocol card. Each port can be independently configured for Ethernet (200GbE) or InfiniBand (NDR200) via firmware and software settings. Default port mode is Ethernet.
What PCIe slot is required?
This card uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 host interface. It is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 slots at reduced bandwidth. For full dual-port 200GbE/NDR200 performance, a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is required.
What condition does T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS supply?
Refurbished. Each card is inspected for connector, bracket, and label condition, verified against MPN, and packed in ESD-safe anti-static packaging for B2B shipment. Firmware update to the latest supported version is recommended after installation.
