I thought it was 16, but now I’m second-guessing myself. I need to remember if that was for a different model or configuration.

I’m leaning towards 4, but I really can’t recall the specifics. I should have reviewed the hardware specs more thoroughly.

I feel like I practiced a question similar to this, and I want to say it was 8 cards, but I could be mixing it up with another system.

I think I remember something about the DGX A100 having multiple ports, but I’m not sure how many ConnectX-6 cards are actually in it.
