The AB287A 10 GigE card, and two HP Smart Array RAID cards (the 337972-B21 and

A9890A) support the following maximum use in the rx1620 and rx2620 servers.

Stated maximums cannot be combined. If a system with six I/O slots states a maximum of two

AB287A cards, the other four slots must be left unpopulated.

When installing two AB287A cards you cannot install any other cards.

On rx1620 with two I/O slots, the max quantity for any I/O config using Smart Array RAID
