Dell PowerEdge M610 Technical Manual page 24

The Dell PowerEdge M520 system supports two embedded Broadcom 5720 Dual Port 1Gb LOMs,
which is a total of four 1Gb ports.
The M520 also offers balanced, scalable I/O capabilities, including integrated PCIe 3.0 capable
mezzanine card slots. Installation of mezzanine cards requires an M1000e I/O module (IOM) of the
same fabric technology to be installed in the corresponding fabric slot of the mezzanine to support
data flow through that fabric or slot.
With the M520 system, the job of deploying, updating, and monitoring is fast and easy. System
management integration features include the following:
Pre-boot: Use the Dell Lifecycle Controller graphical user interface (GUI) to set configuration

such as bandwidth allocation or firmware revision level.
Post-boot: Agent-free out-of-band or high-speed in-band connection over LOM through the

Operating System/BMC pass-through feature for sensory information.
 Automation of firmware and driver version deployment upon component replacement.
Automatic monitoring of NIC status and notification on SNMP traps.

Local or remote re-configuration of any NIC, physical or virtual.

 PXE boot enabled on all LOM and NDCs for ease of use.
Boot from SAN (iSCSI, FCoE) configuration for networking devices through the Lifecycle

Controller GUI.
The M520 provides two PCIe 3.0 mezzanine connectors for add-in cards. The M520 has been
designed to be PCIe 3.0 compliant in order to take full advantage of the processor capabilities. Table
13 lists the supported mezzanine cards for the M520.
