Important: Although these cards are functionally identical, the availability of iSCSI and
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) upgrades for one card does not automatically mean
availability for both cards. At the time of writing, the target availability of these features is
the second quarter of 2011. Check availability of iSCSI and FCoE feature upgrades with
your local IBM representative.
Note: Servers that include the Emulex 10Gb Ethernet Adapter do not include
transceivers. You must order transceivers separately if needed, as listed in Table 4-34.
