Wake on LAN feature is supported only on the riser cards. 8 GB of memory per number of 10GbE network controller is recommended to avoid network performance issues. Up to one 10GbE NIC can be installed when using with 32-bit operating systems. Up to two 10GbE NICs can be installed when using with 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems. The jumbo frame feature does not support with the Riser Cards Kits on 32-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems The types and number of available NICs when installing 10GBASE Riser Card Kits See the table below for the types and number of available NICs when a Dual Port 10GBASE Riser Card Kit is installed on Windows Server operating systems. The condition depends on interruption processing resulting from a processor and an operating system and insufficient interruption processing resources may lead to system boot process requiring long time.

NEC Corporation Revision 1.3 – October 16, 2014 12 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION GUIDE – NEC Express5800/B120e NIC Teaming feature The server blade supports NIC teaming which is the ability to configure multiple NICs to a single network interface for fault tolerance and load balancing Windows Server 2008 support BASP (Broadcom Advanced Server Program) or Intel PROSet teaming while Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2 and Linux support teaming with bonding function supported by OS. When using NIC teaming, please note the following: Any of the network teaming must be processed in a single LAN controller. Teaming feature is not supported on iSCSI interfaces. NIC Partitioning feature The 10GbE Controllers support NIC partitioning which is the ability to configure a single 10GbE port into four virtual NICs. To use NIC Partitioning, please note the following: NIC Partitioning should be enabled to install Windows Server operating systems, 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems. NIC Partitioning should be disabled to install 32-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems. NIC Partitioning should be configured under the maximum configuration limits for networking when running with VMware systems. For more detail, see the Networking Maximum in the Configuration Maximums document for VMware. VMware system counts each divided network port as nx_nic 10Gb Ethernet port.
