The "-SO" cards have no external off-chip memory, as seen above.  If it did have off-chip memory there would be a "MC0" and possibly "MC1" lines above with a large amount of memory.    Like this (T580-CR):

MC0:            0x600000-0x405fffff [1.00 GiB]
MC1:            0x40600000-0x805fffff [1.00 GiB]

So your -SO cards will only handle a very small amount of RDMA load.


Steve.
