7 Networking and PCIe

The Dell PowerEdge R620 offers balanced, scalable I/O capabilities, including integrated PCIe 3.0
capable expansion slots. Dell Select Network Adapters, Dell's network daughtercards, let you choose
the right network fabric without using up a valuable PCI slot. Pick the speed, technology, vendor and
other options such as switch independent partitioning, which lets you share and manage bandwidth
on 10GbE connections.

Select Network Adapter

The Select Network Adapter family includes flexible LAN on motherboard (LOM) card options for the
Dell PowerEdge 12th generation servers. The Select Network Adapter form factor delivers the value
of LOM integration with the system, including BIOS integration and shared port for manageability,
while providing the flexibility of a modular card.
The R620 supports one custom rack network daughter card (NDC), as part of the Select Network
Adapter family, to house the complete LOM subsystem. The rack NDC options supported on the
R620 include a selection of 1GbE and 10GbE port cards, such as 1000 Base-T, 10Gb Base-T, and
10Gb SFP+.
