Voltaire / Mellanox V03106P (also labelled VO3106P) - Unverified Spare Module
Technical Identity
V03106P is the code exactly as printed on the unit. The identical part also appears in stock records as VO3106P - a numeric zero versus a capital letter O, an ambiguity common on Voltaire-era labels. This is one listing covering both spellings, combined quantity 6. T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS found no Voltaire, Mellanox or NVIDIA record for either spelling, and claims no module type, port count, speed or compatibility.
Engineering-sample, pre-production and unverified-part-number hardware carries no NVIDIA / Mellanox support entitlement, no manufacturer warranty, no vendor firmware entitlement and no RMA path. Sold for lab, spares and evaluation use.

- Brand / provenance: Voltaire, later acquired by Mellanox. Per owner stock records; not vendor-confirmed
- Owner stock description: Unverified P/N, Voltaire / Mellanox spare module
- Ports / speed / connector: Not verified - confirm from unit label

Engineering Context
Voltaire was an InfiniBand and Ethernet vendor acquired by Mellanox in 2011, and Voltaire-era hardware carries VLT- and V0-prefixed codes. The T.E.S catalogue already holds documented Voltaire switches including VLT-30011, VLT-30013, VLT-30034, VLT-30065, VLT-30111 and VLT-30112. V03106P matches none of those and is described as a spare module rather than a chassis. Voltaire module families differ entirely in connector and speed, so T.E.S will not infer a specification from the code.
What is known
- The code V03106P is printed on the unit, physically in T.E.S EU stock.
- The same physical part is labelled both V03106P and VO3106P; one listing avoids double-counting stock.
- The owner stock record classifies it as a Voltaire / Mellanox spare module.
What is not yet confirmed
- The module type - line card, management module, PSU, fan tray, transceiver or interconnect.
- Which Voltaire or Mellanox chassis it was a spare for.
- Port count, speed, connector family and protocol.
- Firmware and licence state, and whether the unit powers on or links at all.
Request Label Photos
T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS photographs the regulatory label, serial number and board markings on this exact unit before dispatch. Request photos before you commit. Pricing is subject to confirmation of the exact unit.
Use Cases
- Spares matching for Voltaire-era chassis by buyers holding the original bill of materials.
- Repair-donor and component harvesting.
- Identification purchases by buyers who recognise the module from photographs.
What This Is NOT
- NOT a supported production unit. V03106P was never released as a documented, supported product under this code.
- NOT covered by warranty or RMA. No manufacturer warranty, no advance replacement, no vendor support route.
- NOT supplied with firmware, licences, MLNX-OS or DOCA entitlement or vendor documentation.
- NOT equivalent to any production model. No mapping from V03106P to a shipping part number is implied.
- NOT specified for ports, speed, connector or protocol. No port count, Gb/s figure or cage type is claimed.
Compatibility & Hard Constraints
- No compatibility list is published. T.E.S does not state platform compatibility for an unverified part number.
- Identity verification is the buyer gate. Model, ports, speed, connector and protocol must be read off the unit first.
- Connector-family caution: OSFP, QSFP-DD, QSFP112, QSFP56, QSFP28, QSFP+ and SFP cages are not interchangeable.
- Generation caution: SDR, DDR, QDR, FDR, EDR, HDR and NDR are not interchangeable, nor Ethernet speed grades with InfiniBand generations.
- Pre-deployment verification: firmware, licence state and power-on behaviour are unknown. Do not buy V03106P for a production fabric.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What exactly am I buying when I order V03106P?
One physical unit marked V03106P, from a lot of 6 held in the EU. It is a Voltaire / Mellanox spare module of unconfirmed type, labelled V03106P or VO3106P. Hardware only - no documented model, specification sheet, firmware, licence, warranty or support entitlement.
Q. Is V03106P a production unit?
Unknown. T.E.S cannot confirm V03106P or VO3106P against any Voltaire, Mellanox or NVIDIA catalogue. It is sold as an unidentified spare module with no warranty, no support entitlement and no RMA path.
Q. Will you confirm the model before shipping V03106P?
T.E.S photographs what is printed on the unit - the V03106P code, regulatory label, serial number and board markings - before dispatch. No production-model equivalence is asserted. Any further part number on the label is passed to you unedited.
Q. Is V03106P tested?
V03106P receives visual inspection and label photography. Functional testing is limited by the absence of vendor firmware and documentation, so do not assume it has been validated. Where a rig is available T.E.S will attempt a power-on check on request and report the result honestly, including a negative result.
Q. Can I get photos of the regulatory label on V03106P?
Yes. Request label photographs before ordering and T.E.S will photograph the label, serial number and board markings on the actual V03106P unit that would ship. Pricing is subject to confirmation of the exact unit.
Q. Why does this listing show two spellings, V03106P and VO3106P?
The owner stock list carries the part twice - once as V03106P with a numeric zero, once as VO3106P with a letter O - as an explicit duplicate of the same part. Rather than publish two listings that double-count the same stock, T.E.S publishes one under SKU V03106P_Refurbished with the combined quantity of 6. Either spelling points here.
