1.3 MFT Access to Hardware Devices

Table 5 lists the Mellanox devices supported by MFT, the supporting tools, and the access methods

to these devices.

MFT tools access Mellanox devices via the PCI-X / PCI Express interface, via a USB to I2C

adapter (Mellanox P/N: MTUSB-1), or via vendor-specific MADs over the InfiniBand fabric (In-

Band).

All MFT tools address the target hardware device using an mst device name. This name is assigned

by running the command ‘mst start’(In Windows, it is not required to run the

“mst start” com-

mand) for PCI and I2C access. In-Band devices can be assigned by running the 'mst ib add' com-

mand.
