Some more Information. I removed the Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR from my N54L. To get a little more info without messing up my existing xpnology setup. I installed the Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR in a WIndows 10 64bit PC. The operating system found the card right out of the box in the device manager. There are two tools that need to downloaded MLNX_VPI_WinOF-5_10_All_win2012R2_x64 and WinMFT_x64_3_8_0_56 for connectX 2 cards. c:\Program Files\Mellanox\WinMFT>mst status mt26428_pci_cr0 mt26428_pciconf0 mt26428_pci_cr0 is the name of the device you need this to update the firmware.
