NVIDIA Mellanox MNV303212A-ADLT Innova-2 Flex Open KU15P 25GbE Dual SFP28 PCIe4

NVIDIA Mellanox® MNV303212A-ADLT — Innova-2 Flex Open 25GbE Dual SFP28 KU15P 8GB PCIe4 x8

Technical Identity

The NVIDIA Mellanox® MNV303212A-ADLT is an Innova-2 Flex Open smart adapter for application acceleration: dual-port 25GbE SFP28, Xilinx Kintex UltraScale+ KU15P FPGA paired with NVIDIA ConnectX-5 EN NIC silicon, 8GB on-board DRAM, No Crypto, PCIe 4.0 x8, HHHL form factor, active heat sink, tall bracket. The FPGA is unprogrammed ("Flex Open") and available for custom data-plane application deployment — distinct from the IPsec-focused ADIT variant. Condition: Refurbished Grade A, EU stock.

What This Is NOT

• NOT an IPsec pre-programmed card. This is the "Flex Open" variant — the KU15P FPGA is not pre-loaded with IPsec firmware. For IPsec-ready Innova-2, see MNV303212A-ADIT.
• NOT Crypto Enabled. No hardware crypto offload on this SKU.
• NOT InfiniBand. Ethernet EN only — there is no IB personality on Innova-2 Flex.
• NOT a BlueField DPU. Innova-2 pairs a ConnectX-5 NIC with a user-programmable Xilinx FPGA, not an Arm SoC.
• NOT supplied with SFP28 transceivers, DAC/AOC cables, or FPGA bitfiles.

Compatibility & Constraints

• Host: PCIe 4.0 x8 HHHL slot — verify chassis HHHL clearance and PCIe Gen4 capability (auto-negotiates down to Gen3 x8).
• FPGA development: Xilinx Vivado / Vitis required for FPGA bitfile development. NVIDIA Innova-2 SDK supplies the host-to-FPGA communication framework and reference designs.
• Switch side: Pairs with any standard 25GbE SFP28 Ethernet switch — NVIDIA Spectrum / Spectrum-2 or third-party 25GbE.
• Operating systems: Linux distributions supported by MLNX_OFED / NVIDIA networking toolchains.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. What is the MNV303212A-ADLT?
The MNV303212A-ADLT is an Innova-2 Flex Open smart adapter: dual 25GbE SFP28, Xilinx KU15P FPGA, 8GB DRAM, No Crypto, PCIe 4.0 x8, HHHL, active heat sink. The FPGA is open for custom application acceleration.

Q. What does Flex Open mean on Innova-2?
Flex Open means the Xilinx KU15P FPGA is not pre-programmed — it is blank and available for custom application deployment using Vivado / Vitis. This is the platform for developing custom network offload, ML inference, storage acceleration, or security applications.

Q. How does MNV303212A-ADLT differ from MNV303212A-ADIT?
ADLT is Flex Open with a blank FPGA for custom apps, No Crypto, and 8GB DRAM. ADIT is IPsec pre-programmed, Crypto Enabled, and 4GB DRAM. Both share the same PCIe 4.0 x8 HHHL dual 25GbE SFP28 platform.

Q. Is the MNV303212A-ADLT InfiniBand capable?
No — the MNV303212A-ADLT is Ethernet EN only. There is no IB personality on Innova-2 Flex.

Q. What condition does T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS supply?
Refurbished Grade A — EEPROM-verified, active heat sink verified, cosmetically inspected, EU stock with worldwide express shipping.
