HP High Performance Computing InfiniBand Solutions  
An integral component of an HP InfiniBand solution is the InfiniBand switch. The InfiniBand switch  
might have leaf boards, power supply units, fan modules, management modules, and other field  
swappable devices to use, manage, and service the switch.  
The HP InfiniBand network also includes the HCAs (host channel adapters). The HCAs have two  
form factors: one with standard PCI form factor for HP ProLiant DL and SL servers, and another  
with the mezzanine form factor for HP ProLiant BL server blades. The components that contain PCI  
or HCA cards are visible and manageable parts of your HP InfiniBand network. An HP InfiniBand  
HCA can be a single-port or dual-port PCI card or HP BladeSystem InfiniBand mezzanine HCA.
