2 Card Interfaces
2.1 I/O Interfaces
Each mezzanine card includes the following interfaces:
• PCI Express (PCIe)
•I2C-compatible connector (for debug)
Figure 5: 0J05YT/0K6V3V Card
2.1.1 InfiniBand Interface
The ConnectX®-3 mezzanine cards are compliant with the InfiniBand Architecture Specification,
Release 1.2.1. It has two compliant InfiniBand ports with four Tx/Rx pairs of SerDes.
Mellanox Technologies

Page 12
2.1.2 PCI Express Interface
The ConnectX®-3 mezzanine cards support PCI Express 3.0 (1.1 and 2.0 compatible) . The device
can be either a master initiating the PCI Express bus operations or a slave responding to PCI bus
operations.
2.1.3 I2C-compatible Interface
A three-pin header on the mezzanine cards is provided as the I2C-compatible interface.
Card InterfacesRev 1.0
Figure 6: I2C Connector
2.2 Power
All adapter cards receive 12V and 3.3V power from the PCI Express connector. All other required
power voltages are generated by on-board switch mode regulators. See
Appendix A.2,“Specifications,” on page 30.
2.3 Memory
The mezzanine cards support multiple memory devices through the PCI Express, SPI (Flash), and
2
I
C-compatible interfaces.
2.3.1 System Memory
The mezzanine cards utilize the PCI Express interface to store and access fabric connection information on the system memory.
2.3.2 SPI
The mezzanine cards include one SPI Flash device accessible via the Flash interface of the ConnectX®-3 device.

Use the documentation supplied with the Dell Blade Servers to remove and replace the blade from
the chassis.
The card shown below has grounding clips that must come in contact with the chassis after the
card is installed.
Figure 7: Grounding Clip
Make sure that you are properly grounded. Make sure that the equipment, both while in the chassis and while removed from the chassis, is properly grounded to prevent ESD.
