Network connectivity
The ThinkAgile VX5520 appliances provide two- or four-port 1/10 GbE RJ-45 or 10 GbE SFP+ network
connectivity with the onboard Intel X722 NIC and a LOM card installed in the appliance. Two or four
additional 1/10 GbE RJ-45 or 10 GbE SFP+ ports can be selected, if required.
The following table lists the network adapter options that are available for selection.

Configuration notes:
One of the RJ-45 or SFP+ LOM cards or adapters is required for selection. Additional ports can be
selected, if needed.
The RJ-45 and SFP+ ports cannot be intermixed in the same appliance, that is, either RJ-45
or SFP+ ports can be selected for the appliance, but not both port types. Also, the Intel X710-DA2
and Emulex VFA5.2 network adapters are mutually exclusive.
The SFP+ ports require SFP+ transceivers or direct-attach copper (DAC) cables that should be
ordered for the appliance. The RJ-45 ports require UTP Category 6 cables that should be ordered
for the appliance. The maximum number of transceivers or cables that are supported per adapter
equals the quantity of the adapter ports, and all adapter ports must have the same type of the
transceiver or cable selected.
The following transceivers and cables can be purchased:
Transceivers and cables for 10 GbE SFP+ ports
Cables for 1/10 GbE RJ-45 ports
The following table lists transceivers and cables for the 10 GbE SFP+ ports.
