<P class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I have used the OFED-1.3 software to communicate with the
current cards I have. These cards come up as “MT23108” in the logs, and I
am not sure whom the manufacturer is. I was able to program the cards, and
even install MPICH2 and run tests.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I have recently obtained new IB cards from HP “<B><SPAN

Fabric (HPC) Adapter” <A

</SPAN></B><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">and
these cards do not work the same. The machine boots up fine with the card
in, and shows the card as Mellanox “MT23108” also? The two cards are
visibly different in every way. Is the MT23108 a certain platform for
IB? I am new to the entire IB technology. This is the history of
what I did. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

reboot stage, hangs for a little bit, and then many errors show and the machine
won’t boot, unless I take the card out. If I uninstall the OFED software,
it will reboot fine with the card still in. The card from HP giving me
problems, does not appear to have any drivers for it. It looks like HP
supports it to work on Windows, and HPUX. <o:p></o:p></P>
