HPE ProLiant BL420c Gen8 Parts
Networking
NOTE: Each 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter requires a minimum of 2GB of server memory.
NOTE: A 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter supports linking at 1Gbps or 10Gbps when connected to an interconnect module with 10Gb Ethernet downlinks.
NOTE: A 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter supports linking at only 1Gbps when connected to an interconnect module with 1Gb Ethernet downlinks.
NOTE: The 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters on each server blade connect to a 10Gb interconnect in bays 3-8 (HPE BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure) or bays 2-4 (HPE BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure).
