Mellanox ConnectX-2

[Poppa]

I just got a 40Gbe switch and some Mellanox ConnectX-2 cards. I don't know how to make these work though. I can't even get it to work on Windows. Can someone familiar with these cards please help me?

I am running Windows 7 on my PC and FreeNAS 11 on my server.

What research have you done to troubleshoot this issue? Did you check to see if these cards have drivers for Windows 7 or FreeBSD 10/11 ?

ConnectX-2 10GbE work fine with both Win10 (64 bits only) and FreeNAS, since you mentioned 40GbE, I'm not sure about the infiniband versions.

My switch is 40Gbe but the card is the 10Gbe MNPA19-XTR card. I did find out how to use it in FreeNAS but I can't seem to get the drivers installed on Win 7.

They are plug and play with Win10, never tried them on win7.
