PXE is only supported on first FlexNIC of a Physical Port. Only VC Flex-10 Enet modules running Flex-10 compliant VCM firmware support FlexNICs. Summary Flex-10 technology introduces a hardware-based solution to address the issue of data management on 10GbE networks. Flex-10 increases the number of NICs in virtual machine server configurations which reduces cost and adds flexibility. FlexNICs supply applications with the required network bandwidth, and they are designed to be dynamically managed with all of the benefits of Virtual Connect, plus FlexNIC fine-tuning at the server edge. Flex-10 technology allows data centers to implement 10GbE architecture effectively without additional infrastructure costs. Flex-10 is the most cost-effective solution for virtual machine server configurations requiring four or more NICs. Flex-10 provides significant reduction in infrastructure and power costs. 15
