What network speed does the NVIDIA 900-9X5AZ-0053-ST6 adapter support?

The NVIDIA 900-9X5AZ-0053-ST6 is described as a ConnectX-5 EN network interface card with a 25GbE dual-port SFP28 configuration. This indicates that it is intended for Ethernet networking in the 25GbE speed class, using SFP28 interfaces for its two ports on the adapter.

What type of network connectors are available on this ConnectX-5 EN card?

The card is specified as a 25GbE dual-port SFP28 model. This means it provides two SFP28 network interfaces that support Ethernet connectivity within the 25GbE category. Both ports use the SFP28 form factor, enabling fiber or compatible copper connections where SFP28 modules are supported.

Which PCIe interface does the NVIDIA ConnectX-5 EN 900-9X5AZ-0053-ST6 use?

This adapter is listed as a PCIe Gen 3.0 x16 Ethernet adapter card. It is designed to install into a PCIe Gen 3.0 x16 slot in a server or compatible system. Planning deployments should therefore ensure that the target platforms provide available PCIe Gen 3.0 x16 expansion capability.

Is the NVIDIA 900-9X5AZ-0053-ST6 suitable for standard-height server chassis?

Yes, the model description specifies a tall bracket, which corresponds to a full-height bracket suitable for standard-height server chassis. When designing configurations, ensure that the chassis accepts tall bracket adapters so this ConnectX-5 EN network interface card can be installed correctly.

What product category does the NVIDIA 900-9X5AZ-0053-ST6 belong to?

This product is categorized as a network adapter, specifically an Ethernet adapter card focused on 25GbE dual-port SFP28, PCIe Gen 3.0 x16. It is positioned as an enterprise-level adapter for environments that require 25GbE Ethernet connectivity on a PCIe Gen 3.0 x16 interface.
