ConnectX-6 OCP 3.0 cards were tested for Shock & Vibe in accordance with NVIDIA test procedures, as the OCP spec 3.0 available at that time did not contain any S&V definitions.
A newer version of the OCP spec 3.0 has defined S&V specifications and NVIDIA is in the midst of retesting these cards to comply with OCP spec 3.0.
For more information on NVIDIA Shock & Vibe test procedure, please contact NVIDIA.

Please note that in STBY mode, only port0 is available.
