1. Introduction
The DN-10190 Dual-Port 40G QSFP adapter with PCI Express 3.0 and
x8 Mellanox Connectx-3 technic delivers high-bandwidth and
industry-leading Ethernet connectivity and is compliant with PCIe2.0
and 1.1. It features two 40 Gigabit QSFP+ Ethernet ports compliant
with QSFP+ MSA Spec Rev 1.0, and two QSFP ports supporting FDR-
14 InfiniBand or 40Gb Ethernet, with support for InfiniBand FDR
speeds of up to 56Gbps (auto-negotiation FDR-10, DDR and SDR).
The low-profile form factor adapter with 2u bracket supports virtual
protocol interconnect (VPI), InfiniBand Architecture specification
v1.2.1, IEEE Std. 802.3, copper cables and optical cables with the use
of QSFP connectors, and SFP+ cables available through QSA (Quad to
Serial). It enables low latency RDMA over 40Gb Ethernet, with legacy
and UEFI PXE network boot support, and supports iSCSI as a software
iSCSI initiator in NIC mode with NIC driver. The adapter supports
multiple operating systems, such as FreeBSD, Linux 5.x and above,
VMware, Windows server2008/2012/2016/2019, win7/ win8/

win8.1/ win10 32 or 64bit. It also supports CORE-Direct○,R
application off-load, GPUDirect application off-load, RDMA over
converged Ethernet (RoCE), end-to-end QoS and congestion control,
TCP/UDP/IP stateless off-load, Ethernet encapsulation (EoIB), SR-IOV
support (16 virtual functions supported by KVM and Hyper-V(OS
dependant) up to a maximum 127 virtual functions supported by the
adapter), and traffic steering across multiple cores, making it a
versatile adapter suitable for a wide range of applications.

5. Hardware Installation
1. Turn Off the power to your computer.
2. Unplug the power cord and remove your computer’s cover.
3. Remove the slot bracket from an available PCIe x4/x8/X16 slot.
4. To install the card, carefully align the card’s bus connector with
the selected PCIe slot on the motherboard. Push the board down
firmly.
5. Replace the slot bracket’s holding screw to secure the card.
6. Replace the computer cover and reconnect the power cord.
6. Install Drivers and Software
Windows Operating Systems
You must have administrative rights to the operating system to
install the drivers.
1. insert the CD driver bound with Mellanox network driver into
your CD-ROM drive.
2. if the Found New Hardware Wizard screen is displayed,
click Cancel.
3. select a driver based on the system type:
for Windows Server type: (Assume that D):
“D:\NIC Drivers\Mellanox\ConnectionX-3\Windows Server”
for Windows type: (Assume that D):
“D:\NIC Drivers\Mellanox\ConnectionX-3\Windows Client”
4. Double click the driver corresponding to the system.
5. Follow the instructions in the install wizard to finish it.
Installing Linux Drivers from Source Code
1. Download and expand the base driver tar file.
2. Compile the driver module.
3. Install the module using the mod probe command.
4. Assign an IP address using the ipconfig command.
