Features
The Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx 100GbE QSFP56 Ethernet Adapter offers a number of features, including the following:
Security to every end-point
In an era where privacy of information is key and zero trust is the rule, ConnectX-6 Dx adapters offer a range of advanced built-in capabilities that bring security down to the end-points with unprecedented performance and scalability, including:
- Probes & DoS Attacks Protection – ConnectX-6 Dx enables a hardware-based L4 firewall by ASAP2 offloading of stateful connection tracking.
- NIC Security – Hardware Root-of-Trust (RoT) Secure Boot and secure firmware update using RSA cryptography, and cloning-protection, via a device-unique secret key.
Advanced virtualization
ConnectX-6 Dx delivers another level of innovation to enable building highly efficient virtualized cloud data centers:
- Virtualization – Mellanox ASAP2 - Accelerated Switch and Packet Processing® technology for vSwitch/vRouter hardware offload, delivers orders of magnitude higher performance vs. software-based solutions. ConnectX-6 Dx ASAP2 offers both SR-IOV and VirtIO in-hardware offload capabilities, and supports up to 8 million rules.
- Advanced Quality of Service – Includes traffic shaping, and classification-based data policing.
Industry-leading RoCE
Following the Mellanox ConnectX tradition of industry-leading RoCE capabilities, ConnectX-6 Dx adds another layer of innovation to enable more scalable, resilient and easy-to-deploy RoCE solutions.
- Zero Touch RoCE – Simplifying RoCE deployments ConnectX-6 Dx allows RoCE payloads to run seamlessly on existing networks without requiring special configuration on the network (no PFC, no ECN). ConnectX-6 Dx’s features ensure resiliency and efficiency at scale of such deployments.
- Configurable Congestion Control – API to build user-defined congestion control algorithms, best serving various environments and RoCE and TCP/IP traffic patterns.
Efficient storage solutions
With its NVMe-oF target and initiator offloads, ConnectX-6 Dx brings further optimization to NVMe-oF, enhancing CPU utilization and scalability. Additionally, ConnectX-6 Dx supports hardware offload for ingress/egress of T10-DIF/PI/CRC32/CRC64 signatures thereby enabling user-based key management and a one-time-FIPS-certification approach.

Support of adapters with generic firmware
One or more of the adapters described in this product guide uses standard vendor firmware (look for "Generic FW" or "Generic" in the adapter names). These adapters are supported in Lenovo servers and with Lenovo management tools.
Support in Lenovo XClarity management tools for adapters with generic firmware is per the following table.
Tip: Always use firmware that is obtained from Lenovo sources to ensure the firmware is fully tested by Lenovo and is supported. You should not use firmware that is obtained from the vendor web site, unless directed to do so by Lenovo support.
| Function | Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager | Lenovo XClarity OneCLI (out-of-band) | Lenovo XClarity OneCLI (in-band) | Lenovo XClarity Administrator |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adapter configuration | Supported (in-band via UEFI) | Supported with latest UEFI firmware* | Supported with latest UEFI firmware* | Supported with latest UEFI firmware* |
* Minimum supported UEFI firmware is as follows: SR630 V4, SR650 V4, SR650a V4: Release IHE116I; SR850 V4, SR860 V4: Release RVE106I.

The following table indicates which operating systems can be preloaded in the Lenovo factory for CTO server orders where this adapter is included in the server configuration.
| Operating system | Preload support |
|---|---|
| Windows Server 2016 | Supported as a preload for factory orders |
| Windows Server 2019 | Supported as a preload for factory orders |
| Windows Server 2022 | No support as a preload |
| Windows Server 2025 | No support as a preload |
| VMware ESXi 6.5 U3 | Supported as a preload for factory orders |
| VMware ESXi 6.7 U3 | Supported as a preload for factory orders |
| VMware ESXi 7.0 | Supported as a preload for factory orders |
| VMware ESXi 7.0 U1 | Supported as a preload for factory orders |
| VMware ESXi 7.0 U2 | No support as a preload |

| VMware ESXi 8.0 U1 | No support as a preload |
| VMware ESXi 8.0 U2 | No support as a preload |
| VMware ESXi 8.0 U3 | No support as a preload |
| VMware ESXi 9.0 | No support as a preload |
Tip: If an OS is listed as "No support" above, but it is listed in one of the support tables below, that means the OS is supported by the adapter, just not available to be preloaded in the Lenovo factory in CTO orders.
The adapters support the operating systems listed in the following tables:
- ThinkSystem Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx 100GbE QSFP56 2-port PCIe Ethernet Adapter
- ThinkSystem Nvidia ConnectX-6 Dx 100GbE QSFP56 2-port OCP Ethernet Adapter(Generic)
