As described in "Embedded 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter," certain models (those with a model number of
the form x2x) have a 10Gb Ethernet controller on the system board, and its ports are routed to the
midplane and switches installed in the chassis via a Compute Note Fabric Connector that takes the place
of an adapter in I/O slot 1.

midplane and switches installed in the chassis via a Compute Note Fabric Connector that takes the place
of an adapter in I/O slot 1.
Models without the Embedded 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter (those with a model number of the form x1x)
do not include any other Ethernet connections to the Enterprise Chassis midplane as standard. Therefore,
for those models, an I/O adapter must be installed in either I/O connector 1 or I/O connector 2 to provide
network connectivity between the server and the chassis midplane and ultimately to the network switches.

The following table lists the supported network adapters and upgrades. Adapters can be installed in either
slot. However, compatible switches must be installed in the corresponding bays of the chassis. All
adapters can also be installed in the PCIe Expansion Node. The "Maximum supported" column indicates
the number of adapter than can be installed in the server and in the PCIe Expansion Node (PEN).

* For x2x models with the Embedded 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter standard, the Compute Node Fabric Connector
occupies the same space as an I/O adapter in I/O slot 1, so you have to remove the Fabric Connector if you plan to
install an adapter in I/O slot 1.
