A UCS B250 Extended Memory Blade Server can hold two Virtual interface cards of the same type, and
as of UCS Manager 1.3(1) you can mix supported Virtual interface cards with either M72KR-E or
M72KR-Q (other combinations are not supported).
If you are switching from one type of adapter card to another, before you physically perform the switch
make sure you have downloaded the device drivers that match your version of UCS Manager and loaded
them into the server's OS. For details refer to the firmware management chapter of one of the UCS
Manager software configuration guides. The firmware version for the adapter must match the version of
UCS Manager used, and the adapter card must be supported in the UCS Manager version your system
uses.
