Cards and appliance models
There are two potential types of 10GbE Fiber cards that will be used to upgrade the Appliance interfaces:
- Intel X520 2P Adapter (full-height PCI-E)
- Intel X710 2P Adapter (half-height PCI-E)
The V20000 G1 and V10000 G4R2 will use the half-height X710 card for all interfaces, while the V10000 G4R1 will use the full-height Intel X520 card to replace the existing P1/P2 2-port copper
card, and the half-height Intel X710 card for the E1 and E2 interfaces.
