NVIDIA MCX623436AN-CDAB Adapter Card 100GBE QSFP56 NO Crypto

Overview

The NVIDIA MCX623436AN-CDAB is a 100GbE QSFP56 adapter card designed for high-performance networking applications. This card provides a direct connection for servers and network devices requiring maximum data throughput, suitable for demanding data center and enterprise environments. Its 'No Crypto' designation indicates it lacks hardware-based encryption acceleration, simplifying deployment in environments where such features are not mandated or are handled at a different layer.

Compatibility

This adapter card is designed for integration into systems supporting PCIe Gen4 x16 slots. It is compatible with servers and workstations that require 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity via a QSFP56 interface. Specific compatibility depends on the host system's motherboard, operating system drivers, and available PCIe bandwidth. It is intended for use with network switches and infrastructure that support 100GbE QSFP56 transceivers and cabling.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a free PCIe Gen4 x16 slot. Ensure adequate airflow within the host chassis, as 100GbE adapters can generate significant heat under load. The card uses a standard PCIe connector and requires no specialized tools for physical installation beyond standard server maintenance equipment. Driver installation for the specific operating system is required post-physical installation.
