Redundant network adapter
To obtain a redundant network connection to the LAN the P
ROCESSOR
can be equipped with multiple network cards
that form an AFT (Adapter Fault Tolerance) team. A team consists of two or more network cards of the same
type, either exclusively 10/100 Mbps network cards or exclusively 10/100/1000 Mbps network cards. At least
one of the cards must be a server adapter. The other ones can be server or desktop adapters. Nevertheless we
recommend for a redundant network adapter to use exclusively server adapters to achieve an easy spare part
handling.
