Supported Network Components
Ethernet Controllers
Any industry standard 10/100/1000 Ethernet controller that conforms to IEEE
802.3ab, 802.3ac, or 802.3u is compatible with the MD3000i. To maximize
available bandwidth to the MD3000i, 1000 Mb/s controllers for I/O paths and 100
Mb/s controllers for out-of-band management paths are highly recommended.
