5.7.1 PCIe Cards
PCIe cards provide ease of expandability and connection.
● The electrical ports provided by PCIe NICs cannot be connected to power over
Ethernet (PoE) devices (such as a switch with PoE enabled). Connecting such
an electrical port to a PoE device may cause link communication failure or
even damage the NIC.
● Contact your local Huawei sales representative or use the Computing
Product Compatibility Checker to determine the components to be used.
