NVIDIA Mellanox MBE1200A-BN1 2U BlueField E-Series Reference Platform (NVIDIA P/N 930-9DCAP-00FI-000): This is a 2U rackmount BlueField E-Series reference platform supporting InfiniBand EDR (100Gb/s) and 100GbE Ethernet via VPI. It is a chassis-class building block for storage and DPU-accelerated systems - it is NOT a discrete adapter card, switch, or fully populated turnkey server. Condition: New (factory-fresh).
Engineering Context: Built on the NVIDIA Mellanox BlueField E-Series platform with up to 16 SSD bays for dense NVMe storage. This is the crypto-disabled variant (P/N suffix indicates crypto disabled) - onboard cryptographic acceleration is not enabled, suited for unencrypted workloads or jurisdictions where crypto-enabled hardware is restricted. The integrated VPI interface supports either InfiniBand EDR (100Gb/s) or 100GbE Ethernet selection. Standard 19-inch 2U form factor.
Deployment & Use Cases: Storage controller node for NVMe-oF and NVMe/TCP arrays; reference base for SmartNIC/DPU-accelerated software-defined storage; private and hybrid cloud nodes leveraging RDMA over IB or RoCE; AI training and inference clusters needing dense storage I/O; OEM hardware integrators building turnkey storage appliances around BlueField.
