How many network ports are available on the ThinkSystem Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx 02YG184?

The ThinkSystem Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx 02YG184 is described as a 10/25GbE SFP28 2-port PCIe Ethernet Adapter. This means it offers two SFP28 network ports on a single card, enabling dual Ethernet connections from one adapter. This is useful for redundancy, separate traffic paths or connecting to multiple switches.

What interface does the Lenovo ThinkSystem 02YG184 network adapter use in the server?

The Lenovo ThinkSystem Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx 02YG184 is categorized as a PCIe Ethernet Adapter. It is designed to plug into a server’s PCIe expansion slot, using that interface to present its two 10/25GbE SFP28 ports to the system. This allows straightforward integration into compatible ThinkSystem servers that provide PCIe connectivity.

Is the Lenovo 02YG184 adapter suitable for environments needing more than one network connection per server?

Yes, the Lenovo 02YG184 is specified as a 10/25GbE SFP28 2-port PCIe Ethernet Adapter. Because it includes two SFP28 ports on a single card, it can support multiple network connections from one server, which is useful for separating management and data traffic or implementing basic network redundancy.

How can the 10/25GbE capability of the 02YG184 help in bandwidth planning?

The 02YG184 adapter provides 10/25GbE connectivity via its SFP28 2-port design, allowing links to operate at either 10 Gigabit or 25 Gigabit Ethernet rates. This flexibility lets planners align each port’s speed with current switch capabilities, while preserving the option to increase bandwidth by using 25GbE where supported.
