Before you order

  • Confirm the exact SKU, part number, specification option and quantity.
  • Confirm the host platform, port, electrical interface and firmware requirements.
  • Confirm availability, lead time, destination and applicable service terms before payment.
Description
The BlueField-3 B3220 is a single-slot FHHL DPU with two QSFP112 network ports, 16 Arm cores and 32 GB of on-board DDR5. This exact configuration supports 200GbE and NDR200 InfiniBand over a PCIe 5.0 x16 host connection. Hardware crypto is enabled; an integrated BMC supports platform management. Match the full order code, server power path and cooling arrangement before deployment.

Product questions & answers

Which network protocol does this variant use by default?

It defaults to Ethernet. Its documented upper rates are 200GbE and NDR200 InfiniBand. Changing link type requires the supported configuration procedure and matching network equipment.

What power and cooling checks are needed before installation?

Supplementary 8-pin PCIe ATX power cable is required and is not included. Verify the server-specific airflow and power specifications before installation.

Can an auxiliary kit automatically enable Socket Direct?

This model has an x16 PCIe extension hardware option. However, the current BlueField-3 introduction explicitly says Socket-Direct is not supported by firmware. Confirm firmware and deployment-mode support before ordering; a kit alone is not proof of working Socket Direct.

Is B3220 a DPU or a SuperNIC, and why does the suffix matter?

This order code is a DPU: P-Series, 16 Arm cores and 32 GB DDR5. Keep the entire order code when matching a server configuration; another BlueField-3 variant can differ in memory, crypto, networking speed and cooling.

Is hardware crypto enabled on this exact variant?

Crypto is enabled on 900-9D3B6-00CV-AA0. A shared family name or physically similar board does not establish crypto capability.

Which image and firmware evidence should be used to identify delivered units?

The official illustration represents the listed B3220 configuration group, not your delivered batch. Obtain the actual label, hardware revision and PSID, then match firmware to the exact device. The reference PSID is MT_0000000884.
