Environmental and power requirements

This section provides environmental and power specifications for the stand-up Fabric Adapters.

These are low-profile MD2 form factor PCI Express (PCIe) cards, measuring 6.6 in. by 2.731 in. 
(16.765 cm by 6.93 cm), that install in PCIe connectors in standard host systems.

Table 22
