You've got an OCP slot sitting empty in your ThinkSystem chassis and you need 25GbE without fighting a PCIe riser. The Mellanox ConnectX-6 LX plugs straight into the OCP 3.0 interface — no bracket, no standoff, no 'will this card physically clear the PSU' moment. Two SFP28 ports, 10 or 25GbE each, and you're running before your coffee's cold. It's the right card when your platform is OCP-native and a PCIe adapter would be a workaround you don't need
