The HP 4X DDR IB HCA is specified to run on PCI-Express mezzanine connectors. Either x8 or x4
connectors can be used for the IB 4X DDR HCA, and multiple HCAs per server are supported. However,
for the best 4X DDR performance, IB HCAs should only be plugged on x8 PCI-Express connectors. When
multiple HCAs are used per server, multiple IB switch modules have to be used and inserted in the
correct switch bays. No HCA virtualization is supported, i.e., applications will see multiple HCA entries
instead of a single aggregated HCA entry with multiple physical HCAs.
