Which network technologies does this adapter support?

The adapter is described as an HPE InfiniBand HDR Ethernet 200Gb 1-port QSFP56 PCIe4 x16 OCP3 MCX653435A-HDAI Adapter. This designation indicates that it is intended for deployment in InfiniBand HDR and Ethernet environments, providing 200Gb connectivity over its single QSFP56 port.

What host interface does the HPE P36069-001 adapter require?

The product name specifies PCIe4 x16, indicating that the adapter uses a PCI Express 4.0 x16 host interface. Systems must provide a compatible PCIe 4.0 x16 slot in an OCP 3.0 adapter form factor to support this card in a server configuration.

What connector type is used on the network side of this adapter?

This adapter uses a QSFP56 connector for its single 200Gb port, as reflected in the product name and category. QSFP56 is a standard interface for 200Gb connectivity, enabling straightforward use with compatible 200Gb switches and cabling infrastructures designed around QSFP56.

What form factor does the HPE InfiniBand HDR Ethernet 200Gb adapter use?

The adapter is identified as an OCP3 adapter, indicating it is designed for the OCP 3.0 form factor. It combines this OCP 3.0 layout with a PCIe 4.0 x16 host interface, so it is suited to servers that provide OCP 3.0 compatible slots for network adapters.

Product overview

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise HPE InfiniBand HDR Ethernet 200Gb 1-port QSFP56 PCIe4 x16 OCP3 MCX653435A-HDAI Adapter, SKU P36069-001, is a single port network adapter designed for InfiniBand HDR and Ethernet connectivity. It features a QSFP56 interface and supports 200Gb operation on one port, aligning with high bandwidth network fabrics. The adapter uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface in an OCP 3.0 form factor, suitable for platforms that support this open compute specification. As a 1-port QSFP56 design, it is targeted at deployments that require a focused high speed link rather than multiple ports per adapter. This model is part of the HPE InfiniBand HDR Ethernet portfolio and is identified by controller model MCX653435A-HDAI, providing a clear option for standardized configurations across environments that are built around 200Gb InfiniBand HDR or Ethernet infrastructures.
