Flex System network adapters

A variety of network adapters are available for use with the Flex System compute nodes and network switches.

You can install Ethernet or Fibre Channel network adapters in the compute nodes. If you need to verify that an adapter is compatible with the compute node, go to the Lenovo ServerProven website.

Important: The network adapters in the compute nodes also must be compatible with the network switches in the chassis.
