The x3850 X6 and x3950 X6 servers support ML2 adapters installed in the custom ML2 slot.
This slot supports adapters with either two 10Gb ports or four Gigabit ports and supports
direct connectivity to the IMM2 service processor for out-of-band systems management.
As listed in 3.3, "Standard models of X6 servers" on page 54, Model B3x includes the
Broadcom NetXtreme II ML2 Dual Port 10GbE SFP+ adapter as standard. All other standard
models include Intel I350-T4 ML2 Quad Port GbE Adapter adapter (I350-AM4 based).
The Broadcom NetXtreme II ML2 Dual Port 10GbE SFP+ Adapter has the following
specifications:
Dual-port 10 Gb Ethernet connectivity
Broadcom BCM57810S ASIC
SFP+ ports supporting fiber optic and direct-attach copper (DAC) cables
