Dell EMC PowerEdge C6420 - Networking and PCIe; Supported Network Adapters

7
Networking and PCIe
On the PowerEdge C6420, the iDRAC dedicated port and Intel® i350 LOM Media Dependent Interface (MDI) pins are mixed to a
single RJ45 on the back of the system. In a dedicated mode, the RJ45 port is dedicated to iDRAC only. In the shared or i350 mode,
the port is available for both iDRAC and host communication. Only one port may be enabled at a given time. By default, each system
is congured for i350 LOM mode which means that the physical port is shared for host and iDRAC communication.
Network Card-Side Band Interface is also multiplexed between the x16 OCP Mezz Card and the x8 Mezz card slot. Since a network
card such as the Intel® x710 OCP Mezz card can be populated in the x16 OCP Mezz slot, iDRAC management can be congured to
utilize the ports (e.g. LOM 2 and LOM 3) on the OCP Mezz card.
