4.4.1 Create Server Templates
Create a server template for each unique server and NIC combination used in the chassis group. For identical
servers, only create one template.
Note: For the hardware used in this example, three templates were created:
• MX740c with QLogic QL41232HMKR NIC
• MX740c with Intel XXV710 NIC
• MX840c with QLogic QL41232HMKR NIC
Note: To create a server template, follow the steps in Section 5.2 - Create a server template of the Dell EMC
PowerEdge MX SmartFabric Configuration and Troubleshooting Guide.
The templates created for this example are shown in Figure 40.
