The IBM 32R1763 Cisco 4x InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter Expansion Card for IBM BladeCenter (referred to as the HCA Expansion Card) provides InfiniBand I/O capability to processor blades in the IBM BladeCenter
unit. The host channel adapter adds two InfiniBand ports to the CPU blade cards to create an IB-capable high density cluster.  IBM 32R1763 HCA Expansion Cards communicate with one another through the Cisco 4x InfiniBand Switch Module for IBM BladeCenter. Each host channel adapter expansion card adds two IB ports to a BladeCenter host. Each host channel adapter port connects through the BladeCenter unit backplane to a
particular Server Switch Module bay. With the Server Switch Module and HCA Expansion Cards, you can create a nonredundant, single-switch topology or a redundant, dual-switch topology.

The IBM 32R1763 HCA Expansion Card includes the following features:
• PCI-Express Interface to dual 4x InfiniBand bridge
• Two 4x InfiniBand interfaces, line rate of the interfaces are 10 Gbps per link, theoretical maximum
• 128 MB table memory (133 MHz DDR SDRAM)
• I2C serial EEPROM holding system Vital Product Data (VPD)
• IBM proprietary blade daughter card form factor
• Identical operation and interfaces for existing Cisco host channel adapter drivers
