Peripheral hardware requirements
For each platform, you might need to provide additional peripheral hardware. If you plan to remotely
administer the system, it would be helpful to have a workstation already connected to the same subnet as
the management interface.
Description
Type of hardware

interface cards that are installed in the platform. You can use either
