Dell PowerEdge R630 Owner's Manual
Network Daughter Card
The Dell PowerEdge R630 offer balanced, scalable I/O capabilities, including integrated PCIe 3.0- capable expansion slots. Dell Select Network Adapters, NDCs of Dell, let you choose the right network fabric without using a valuable PCI slot. Select the speed, technology, vendor, and other options, such as switch-independent partitioning, which will let you share and manage bandwidth on 10 GbE connections.
Select Network Adapters
The Select Network Adapter family is purpose-built and includes flexible LAN on Motherboard (LOM) card options for PowerEdge 13th generation servers. The Select Network Adapter form factor delivers the value of LOM integration with the system, including BIOS integration and shared port for manageability while providing the flexibility of a modular card.
The PowerEdge R630 supports one custom NDC, as part of the Select Network Adapters family, to house the complete LOM subsystem. There are two form factors of Select Network Adapters—one for blade servers and one for rack servers. The rack NDC options supported on the PowerEdge R630 include a selection of 1 GbE and 10 GbE port cards, such as 1000BASE-T, 10GBase-T, and 10Gb SFP+.
Customer Benefits

NOTE
- These cards have two chipsets that offer the choice of either 10 GbE or 1 GbE.
- Only 10 Gb ports have iSCSI HBA support.
- Only 10 Gb ports have FCoE support.
- Only 10 GbEports have switch independent partitioning support. The maximum number of partitions supported is four (two partitions per 10 Gb port). 1 Gb ports do not support switch-independent partitioning.
- Only 10 GbEports have DCB support.
- Only 10 GbEports have ISCSI TLV support.
System Management Integration
With the R630, the job of deploying, updating, monitoring, and maintaining the Select Network Adapters is fast and easy.
System management integration features include the following:
- Pre-boot: Use the Dell Lifecycle Controller graphical user interface (GUI) to set configuration such as bandwidth allocation or firmware revision level
- Post-boot: Agent-free out-of-band or high-speed in-band connection over LOM through the Operating System or BMC pass-thru feature for sensory information
- Automation of firmware and driver version deployment upon component replacement
- Automatic monitoring of NIC status and notification on SNMP traps
- Local- or remote reconfiguration of any NIC: physical or virtual
- PXE boot enabled on all LOM and NDCs for ease of use
- Boot from SAN (iSCSI,or FCoE) configuration for networking devices through the Lifecycle Controller GUI
