Did you know?
10GBASE-T is a low-cost way to enter the 10 Gb Ethernet space. By using standard UTP twisted pair cabling, you eliminate the need for transceivers or fiber optic cabling.
The OCP and ML2 adapters support the Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) for communication with the server’s onboard service processor. This support enables sharing the network interface with the service processor and the operating system, thereby eliminating the need for a separate management network.
