Dell PowerEdge VRTX M620 Networking
Hello
I appreciate this is a question about older equipment but hopefully someone will be able to help. Does anyone know if any of the quad port 1Gb ethernet modules work in the M620. I would like to use the R1-2401 switch and make use if all 16 available internal ports. Currently all of my blades have the broadcom dual 10Gb modules installed.
I know I cuuld use PCIe cards, but I am trying to keep the fan speed down and adding cards will not help with that.
I know none of the quad port cards are listed as supported, but I wondered if anyone had tried it and found them to work OK? I know there is quad port 1Gb for both the M520 and the M630, so I just find it odd there is not one for the M620.
Cheers

Hi,
I tried to search entirely on M620 VRTX for 1GB NDC but none listed. All of them are 10Gb. But I tried searching on M620 M1000e and found 543-BBCU. I am unsure if it would work, but it's worth a try if you're willing to. There is a write up from InfoWorld about VRTX and M620 with R1-2401. I would assume they are using the SKU part I gave you, as it's the only thing listed for M620 M1000e on 1Gb module.
Let me know if you did try and does it work.
