The slow boat from China was extremely slow, but the card finally arrived.
I installed the card as-is and mget_temp reports 91C. Apparently the max safe is 105C so this is cutting it a little close. Ambient is 32C at the moment though.
The card is loaded with a Lenovo firmware and is stuck in IB mode. I was not able to change the port to Ethernet using mlxconfig. Hopefully I can load the regular Mellanox firmware and get this thing switched over.
I did switch my switch port to IB and it linked up at FDR-10. I'm not seeing an option in my switch config for FDR even though I have the option for 56GbE when in Ethernet mode. Anyway, I think that has more to do with my switch than the card.
