# These adapters are only available through CTO or special bid.
† These options are refreshed offerings of the existing VFA II adapters (feature codes A1XG and A1XH). The new
adapters support pNIC, vNIC1, and vNIC2 out-of-box, while the existing adapters require the firmware upgrade to
support vNIC2 functionality (pNIC and vNIC1 is supported out-of-box).
* Withdrawn, not available for ordering.
