Custom Firmware for Mellanox OEM Infiniband Cards - WS2012 RDMA
if the mellanox card is VPI then it defaults to infiniband not ethernet it should be plug n play and you would run the IB network separate from the ethernet network. in my home lab every server has dual 1gb for front end and dual 40gb IB connection for back end.
seen this on the bay and got one at $300 it has a built in subnet manager the condition is like brand new came with console cable and rails.
