The PowerEdge R940 offer balanced, scalable I/O capabilities including integrated PCIe 3.0 expansion slots. Dell network adapters and
daughtercards let you choose the right network fabric without using up valuable PCI slots. Pick the speed, technology, vendor and other
options such as switching independent partitioning lets you share and manage bandwidth on 10 Gbe connections.
