The new Infiniband module provides dual QDR 40 Gbps ports accommodating QSFP style cabling, and up to 4 IO modules are supported for a total of eight Infiniband ports. Both the Fibre Channel and Infiniband connectivity are backward compatible to prior speed generations, including 2 and 4 Gbps FC and 20 Gbps DDR Infiniband.
