Mellanox ConnectX®-5 Card Installation
ConnectX®-5 is an Ethernet PCI express adaptor.
Currently, only video input is supported in Reality, which means, AJA video card is also required to get video output. As we recommend installing AJA video I/O on PIC express slot no. 5, ConnectX® - 5 must be installed on PCI express slot 3 as shown in the image below.
Slot | Electrical | Mechanical | Card |
1 | x16 PCIe Gen 3 | x16 | GPU |
2 | x4 PCIe Gen 3 | x4 | - |
3 | x16 PCIe Gen 3 | x16 | ConnectX® - 5 video card |
4 | x4 PCIe Gen 3 | x4 | - |
5 | x8 PCIe Gen 3 | x8 | Video I/O card (For Output)* |
The below image shows the motherboard marked with Slot 1 (for GPU), Slot 3 (for ConnectX®-5), and Slot 5 (for AJA video I/O).
Once the hardware is installed, the configuration of this hardware is necessary.
- This AJA video card can also be used for additional input and output in combination with IP input.
