FAQs

Q: Do I need specific optics or cables for the 200G ports?
A: Yes. Use QSFP56 200G optics or QSFP56 DAC/AOC cables matched to your link budget and switch ports.

Q: Which server slot should this DPU use?
A: Install in an available PCIe x16 slot qualified for high-bandwidth adapters per the UCS C885A M8 configuration guide.

Q: Is a license required to use acceleration features?
A: Basic networking functions work out of the box; certain advanced features may require software licenses or subscriptions.

Q: Which hypervisors are supported?
A: Mainstream Linux distributions and virtualization stacks are supported; verify compatibility in the platform release notes.

Q: Can it coexist with other NICs or DPUs in the same server?
A: Yes, provided sufficient PCIe bandwidth, power, and cooling are available.
