I'd grab one of the cx-3 dual port that go for about 28~35 on ebay. Cross flash it and put it on your windows box. Run opensm on the same windows box and flash it through that.
Just give it a day or two break and try some more, it took me 2 days, loud as hell in my room. One of the guys last week had the same problems with port not coming up. Are you running the open subnet manager? ports won't come on without it. He had to buy a DAC before it worked for him.
I finally got my FDR Cables and when I attached them they connect at 40GB. I switch them to 56 GB in the web console and they now show down. VMware only lets me select 40000 for speed. Is there anything else I need to do to get this to work?
My nics are cx-3
Thanks, That could have been useful for another switch I replaced fans in, will keep it for future. This switch to me isn't that bad when booted into mlnx-os. The EMC boot is extremely loud though.

Mellanox switches support out-of-band (OOB) dedicated interfaces (e.g. mgmt0, mgmt1) and in-band dedicated interfaces.
Scroll to 4.1.5 In-Band Management
Edit - Some of that was blank, This may be...
Least it's working. I went all DAC for my servers and only using fiber to my desktop and other 10gb LCs with the mtp - 4x LC breakout cable. DACs are nice and cheap.

Support costs extra for lots of commercial products. You can actually pay for support for freenas, or linux. If you're running a product you should understand how it works. Just because it's free/opensource doesn't mean it isn't reliable.
Can always buy just the bracket if you need to. Since I got all my cards cheaper.

Lowest I see is 8.1. Prob time to update to Windows 10. You can prob still update for free.
Edit Older version should work

Use 5.35
You can also use the snipping tool so you don't have to take a picture of your screen.
Did you reboot after you flashed? Also I don't really see a reason to change it. Leave it in VPI mode and you can use both infiniband and/or ethernet. I'm only using ethernet but left in VPI with no issues.
