78 Using the System Viewer Utility
Each type of NIC is associated with a template. This template does not
contain any specific instance information and is agnostic of any system. For
example, a DualPort-QuadPartition-NIC template enables you to configure
the eight partitions of CNA to various roles.
For information on NICs supported by Lifecycle Controller, see the Dell
Lifecycle Controller Unified Server Configurator/Unified Server Configurator-
Lifecycle Controller Enabled User’s Guide available at
support.dell.com/manuals.
For information on CNAs supported by Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration,
see the Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration Version 1.3 for Microsoft System
Center Configuration Manager Readme available at
support.dell.com/manuals.
