VRTX mainboard update 2.1 - SPERC 8.4 support
I noticed a new firmware is available for the VRTX mainboard, 2.1. The only documentation I can find says that it adds support for SPERC 8.4. Can someone from dell explain what SPERC 8.4 is?

HokieFan80,
The SPERC 8 is a Shared PowerEdge RAID Controller card installed on the VRTX, which supports Single Root Input Output Virtualization (SR-IOV). The SPERC 8.4 that the mainboard update is referencing is simply an upcoming firmware update scheduled for the SPERC card.
Hope this helps answer your question.

Thanks Chris. Any hints on what is included in the 8.4 firmware?
