Auxiliary Kit technical selection Q&A

Owner-confirmed and documentation-backed questions with explicit variant applicability and source boundaries.

Editorial Team•2026年10月10日

These questions were prepared for technical evaluation from cited documentation. They are not a measured list of frequently asked customer questions. The applicability line belongs to each answer; do not transfer a statement between order-code, firmware, cooling, length, form-factor or crypto variants.

The products listed below are the applicable catalog references. Answers use owner-confirmed manufacturer-origin product data, scoped public documentation, or explicitly stated engineering guidance. Genuine conflicting values are qualified individually.

Is this a NIC or a supporting component?

Applicable catalog candidates: 930-9BAUX-00N1-000, 930-9BAUX-00N2-000, 930-9BAUX-00N3-000.

It is an auxiliary PCIe connection kit, not a standalone Ethernet or InfiniBand adapter.

What harness length is specified?

Applicable catalog candidates: 930-9BAUX-00N1-000.

150 mm. Cable length is part of the exact selection; the T15, T25 and T35 options are not interchangeable descriptions.

Which PCIe generation is documented?

Applicable catalog candidates: 930-9BAUX-00N1-000.

This item is specified for Gen5.0 x16 auxiliary connectivity.

What is included?

Applicable catalog candidates: 930-9BAUX-00N1-000, 930-9BAUX-00N2-000, 930-9BAUX-00N3-000.

One auxiliary connection card, one white and one black harness, retention clips, a short bracket and a fitted tall bracket are listed.

Will adding the kit enable Socket Direct by itself?

Applicable catalog candidates: 930-9BAUX-00N1-000, 930-9BAUX-00N2-000, 930-9BAUX-00N3-000.

No. Primary-card compatibility, server topology and firmware support are separate requirements. The current BF3 introduction warns Socket Direct is not firmware-supported.

How do the catalog and legacy identifiers map?

Applicable catalog candidates: 930-9BAUX-00N1-000.

The owner-confirmed catalog binds 930-9BAUX-00N1-000 to MTMK9100-T15. Official documentation corroborates the legacy kit identity and technical contents. The identifier mapping is owner-sourced rather than independently established by the opened public table.

What harness length is specified?

Applicable catalog candidates: 930-9BAUX-00N2-000.

250 mm. Cable length is part of the exact selection; the T15, T25 and T35 options are not interchangeable descriptions.

Which PCIe generation is documented?

Applicable catalog candidates: 930-9BAUX-00N2-000, 930-9BAUX-00N3-000.

This item is specified for Gen4.0 x16 auxiliary connectivity.

How do the catalog and legacy identifiers map?

Applicable catalog candidates: 930-9BAUX-00N2-000.

The owner-confirmed catalog binds 930-9BAUX-00N2-000 to MTMK9100-T25. Official documentation corroborates the legacy kit identity and technical contents. The identifier mapping is owner-sourced rather than independently established by the opened public table.

What harness length is specified?

Applicable catalog candidates: 930-9BAUX-00N3-000.

350 mm. Cable length is part of the exact selection; the T15, T25 and T35 options are not interchangeable descriptions.

How do the catalog and legacy identifiers map?

Applicable catalog candidates: 930-9BAUX-00N3-000.
