The Network Upgrade Kit includes one Chelsio 10 Gb Network Interface Card with
dual Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)+ ports. A half-height bracket is included in
the box but is not needed for Mini X+ network card installation. SFP+ modules are
ordered and installed separately.
4.1 Network Card
The Chelsio 10Gb network card connects the system directly to a ber optic net-
work using the PCIe slot on the motherboard. This card supports installing two SFP+
modules (sold separately).
4.2 SFP+ Module Installation
Align the SFP+ module with the SFP+ cage on the network card and gently push un-
til it is fully seated in place. Dierent SFP+ module products are available, and the
connection procedure can vary slightly by product.
SFP+ modules can have a rubber dust cover. Keep the cover in place until ready to
connect a ber optic cable. To remove the dust cover, pull the dust cover away from
the SFP+ module.
