Help with selecting an RDMA (iWarp) compatible network adapter for Azure Stack

Hello. I'd like to do a Windows Server 2019 Azure Stack PoC per the following HPE white papers.

1) HPE DL380 Gen9 Hybrid SAS SSD/HDD Azure Stack HCI Solution

https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00067829enw

2) Implementing Windows Server 2019 Azure Stack HCI Using HPE ProLiant Servers

https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00067845enw

To do so, I need to purchase two of the subject adapters, since I don't have a proper switch available. Does anyone here have any experience with the following Chelsio cards?

1) Chelsio T6225-SO-CR

2) T520-SO-CR

3) PB-T420-CR

Thank you, support_s. While the information contained in the links you supplied below is greatly appreciated, I'm unable to find any mention of Chelsio branded network adapters. That is, unless I missed it.

Does anyone have experience with the adapters listed in my origional post?

Thanks again for reading this.

Good afternoon. Would it be possible for someone with HPE to please confirm whether or not the "HPE ethernet 10/25Gb 2-port 640SFP28 adapter" mentioned at the link below is iWarp compatible in a ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server? From what I can tell, it looks like it may only be compatible with RoCE.
