Network adapters and transceivers

SFP+ connection

Note

If you are using the s2i Transport Layer it is required to configure the network adapter properly. The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 560SFP+ Adapter and Intel (X710) are configured during installation. 

* Some manufacturers encode their cards. Those cards can only be used with the appropriate transceivers.
Example: Intel X710 chipsets only work with Intel or Intel-configured transceivers
