    Product Features —Or— One 10GbE ports per node using the embedded Mellanox ConnectX–2 controller and ■ XAUI (server module model X6275M2–CB). The 10GbE signal for this model is generated by the embedded Mellanox Note – ConnectX-2 controller, and therefore no Fabric Expansion Modules (FEM) are required. The only 10GbE NEM currently supported for this model is the Sun Blade 6000 Ethernet Switched 24p 10GbE NEM (X2073A).
  • Page 13 Product Features Feature Description Chassis midplane I/O Depending on your server model, each node supports either a 1GbE or 10GbE interface through the chassis midplane to the NEM. Although a supported NEM might include both 1GbE and 10GbE ports, Note – the server module only supports one interface type.
