I/O Mezzanine Cards

The PowerEdge™ M710 contains four PCIe Gen2 mezzanine slots. Installation of mezzanine cards
requires an M1000e I/O module (IOM) of the same fabric technology to be installed in the
corresponding fabric slot of the mezzanine to support data flow through that fabric slot. See the

PowerEdge M1000e Technical Guide

for information on IOM options.

The following are the available options for mezzanine cards:
