Installing a 10GbE card for the E1 and E2 interfaces

If you are also upgrading the E1 and E2 interfaces to use 10GbE fiber ports, this will require installing a new PCI-E card on the same riser as the P1/P2 interfaces. Once this card is installed, the existing copper E1/E2 interfaces will no longer be used. The E1 and E2 interfaces will use the low-profile (half-height) PCI-E Intel X710 card.

To install fiber NICs for the E1 and E2 interfaces:
  1. On the opposite side of the riser card, remove the blank insert from the back of the riser card.
  2. Insert the Dual-Port 10GbE fiber NIC into the slot. The card’s bracket should slide over (closer to the rear of the appliance) the existing P1/P2 card bracket:

Once both the P1/P2 and E1/E2 cards are installed, the riser is ready to be reinstalled in the appliance.
