Chapter 1. Introduction
This Installation Guide contains instructions for installing an Intel 10Gb 2-port
Ethernet Expansion Card (CFFh) for IBM BladeCenter in an IBM

blade server.
Note: The Intel 10Gb 2-port Ethernet Expansion Card (CFFh) for IBM BladeCenter
is referred to throughout this document as the expansion card.
The expansion card provides two 10 Gbps (gigabit per second), full duplex

PCI Express bus.
The expansion card comes with a one-year limited warranty. For information about
your warranty, see the
