# The maximum quantity shown is with one processor / two processors (this does not apply to ML2 adapters).
^ Supported only in PCIe slots 1 and 6; transceivers and DAC cables are available only from Mellanox or as a part of a
Lenovo Intelligent Cluster solution.
* SFP+ and QSFP+ based PCIe adapters (except Intel X520 network adapter) are not supported in PCIe slots 3 and 8. SFP+ and
QSFP+ based adapters require supported transceivers or DAC cables that must be purchased for the adapter (See "40 Gb QSFP+
transceivers and DAC cables" and "10 Gb SFP+ transceivers and DAC cables" in the table above).
^^ Transceivers and DAC cables are available only from Mellanox.
** The maximum number of transceivers or cables that are supported per adapter equals the quantity of the adapter ports. All
adapter ports must have the same type of transceiver or DAC cable selected.
