A low profile network card with four 10 Gb fiber optic Ethernet ports.

REDP-5102 lists EN16 among the SR-IOV capable adapters for the S822. It is not in p8hcd Table 4, so other 2U models are not confirmed.

Before you order EN16

Network cards come in two heights. Low profile cards fit the shorter 2U servers. Full height cards fit the taller 4U servers. If a card has a twin code, the twin is the same card in the other height.
