8 Getting Started With Your System
•The
SMI-S Programmer’s Guide
provides information about using
the SMI-S provider and SMI-S programming.
• Any media that ships with your system that provides documentation
and tools for configuring and managing your system, including those
pertaining to the operating system, system management software,
system updates, and system components that you purchased
with your system.
NOTE: Always check for updates on support.dell.com/manuals and read the
updates first because they often supersede information in other documents.

Additional NICs for iSCSI
When installing additional NICs, it is recommended that:
• You use dedicated redundant storage networks for iSCSI traffic.
If a dedicated network is not feasible, isolate the iSCSI traffic from
general network traffic using virtual local area networks (VLAN).
• You use additional NICs dedicated for iSCSI traffic.
• The NICs must be added in pairs for redundancy (up to four NICs).
NOTE: A single NIC is also supported.
