How this unit is built
Received, catalogued and inspected, and checked before it ships.
See the production flowThe NVIDIA Mellanox MBF2H332A-AEEOT is a BlueField-2 P-Series Data Processing Unit (DPU) built on ConnectX-6 Dx network silicon. It exposes two 25GbE network ports through SFP56 cages, runs 8 Arm Cortex-A72 cores at up to 2.5 GHz against 16 GB of on-board DDR4 ECC memory, and integrates hardware crypto offload for IPsec, TLS 1.2/1.3, AES-GCM, AES-XTS and SHA. The card is a Half-Height Half-Length (HHHL) PCIe Gen4 x8 form factor designed to offload network, storage and security functions from the host CPU on cloud, virtualization, telco and storage platforms. NVIDIA P/N family: 900-9D208 — verify the full P/N against your distributor invoice.
Q. What is the NVIDIA Mellanox MBF2H332A-AEEOT?
The MBF2H332A-AEEOT is an NVIDIA BlueField-2 P-Series DPU with two 25GbE SFP56 ports, 8 Arm Cortex-A72 cores, 16 GB on-board DDR4 ECC memory, integrated IPsec and TLS crypto offload, and a PCIe Gen4 x8 HHHL host interface.
Q. What is the difference between the P-Series and the E-Series BlueField-2?
The P-Series (Performance) carries 8 Arm A72 cores; the E-Series (Enhanced) doubles that to 16 cores. P-Series targets SmartNIC, network-offload and storage-initiator roles; E-Series is sized for heavier in-network compute such as full inline security stacks or virtual-switch acceleration.
Q. What connector does the MBF2H332A-AEEOT use? Can I plug a QSFP28 module into it?
The MBF2H332A-AEEOT uses two SFP56 cages. SFP28 DACs / AOCs / optics and SFP56 DACs / optics fit and operate at 10 / 25 / 50 GbE on the cage, but the product is rated for 25GbE per port. It will NOT accept QSFP+, QSFP28, QSFP56 or OSFP cables or transceivers — those will not physically fit in the cage.
Q. Is this a SmartNIC or a full DPU?
It is a full BlueField-2 DPU. Unlike a passive SmartNIC, the Arm complex runs its own Linux distribution (NVIDIA DOCA / BFB image) and can be deployed in DPU mode (Arm OS owns the network path), Separated Host mode, or restricted SmartNIC mode.
Q. Does the MBF2H332A-AEEOT include hardware crypto offload?
Yes. The -AEEOT suffix indicates the crypto-enabled variant: hardware acceleration for IPsec, TLS 1.2/1.3, AES-GCM, AES-XTS (for self-encrypting NVMe over the network), and SHA. Regulated regions may require an export-controlled non-crypto equivalent.
Q. What workloads is the 25GbE BlueField-2 P-Series intended for?
Typical deployments: enterprise / cloud SmartNIC offload (OVS-DPDK, vRouter), inline network security (IPsec / TLS / NGFW), NVMe-oF / RoCE storage acceleration, and DOCA application offload at telco / CDN edge. 25GbE — enterprise / ToR / OOB — NOT AI training. AI back-end fabrics use 200/400GbE BlueField-3 or ConnectX-7.
Q. What is the form factor and host interface?
The MBF2H332A-AEEOT is a Half-Height Half-Length (HHHL) PCIe card with a PCIe Gen4 x8 host interface. A full-height bracket variant is sold under a different suffix — verify the bracket your chassis needs before ordering.
Q. What condition is supplied by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS?
This unit ships New: factory-sealed or original-bulk channel stock. Every unit is inspected on intake for MPN and NVIDIA P/N match, ships from EU stock with anti-static packaging, and includes free pre-sale compatibility advice for host, switch and cable pairing.
T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS is a Europe-based data-center networking specialist serving HPC, AI infrastructure, cloud and enterprise procurement teams since 2007. Every unit is identified by MPN, NVIDIA P/N and silicon family before it leaves our warehouse, and every customer gets free pre-sale compatibility advice for switch, adapter, cable and bracket pairing. EU stock with worldwide express B2B shipping, multi-currency invoicing, and direct technical contact with our engineering team — not a call-center.
