Network adapters

As described in "

Embedded 10Gb Virtual Fabric

," certain models (those with a model number of the form x4x) have

two 10 Gb Ethernet controllers on the system board, and its ports are routed to the midplane and switches installed

in the chassis through two Compute Note Fabric Connectors that takes the place of adapters in I/O slots 1 and 3.

Models without the Embedded 10Gb Virtual Fabric controller (those with a model number of the form x2x) do not

include any other Ethernet connections to the Enterprise Chassis midplane as standard. Therefore, for those

models, an I/O adapter must be installed to provide network connectivity between the server and the chassis

midplane and ultimately to the network switches.

The following table lists the supported network adapters and upgrades. Adapters can be installed in any slot.

However, compatible switches must be installed in the corresponding bays of the chassis.

* For x4x models with two Embedded 10Gb Virtual Fabric controllers standard, the Compute Node Fabric

Connectors occupy the same space as the I/O adapters in I/O slots 1 and 3, so you have to remove the Fabric

Connectors if you plan to install adapters in those I/O slots. To use slots 3 and 4 requires the second processor.

For adapter-to-switch compatibility, see the Flex System Interoperability Guide:
