Hello mt50f1,   You would need the LOM bNDC  (LAN On Motherboard, blade Network Daughter Card) on the FC630 or you would not get a connection to the IOM.   This resource material should give you a good guide for the chassis networking.   FX2s owner manual : [URL] Start page 22:  PowerEdge FX2/FX2s mapping configurations LAN On Motherboard network and compute sled to I/O module port mapping configurations. Additional resource: Dell PowerEdge FN I/O Module Installation Guide : [URL]   The FC630 bNDC interface support the following 10G cards:       10GbE Intel X520 DP bNDC KR     10GbE Broadcom 57840 QP bNDC KR     10GbE Broadcom 57810S DP bNDC KR   Sales would be able to quote you one if you need.
I've got an FC630 without an NDC, running in an FX2s chassis with an FN 410T IOM. Question, can the FC630 network to the IOM without the NDC? I guess I don't really understand the purpose of the NDC unless it is needed to interface with the IOM. I figure the NDC must be important in some way as the 'health' of the server is listed as 'critical' without the NDC. Please educate me!
