You can also team any of the onboard Gigabit cards with 10/100 cards such as 06P3601 and 22P4901, but this is not a recommended configuration. You can also team with the older Gigabit fiber card, 06P3701. Adapter teaming and failover works by using software additional to the adapter driver to provide the failover functionality. This software is operating system dependent. Detailed instructions for installing the individual driver and failover packages are available with the driver software.

Cabling and connectivity
There are a number of unique factors to consider when cabling the x450 server:
±
Remote Supervisor Adapter connectivity
±
RXE-100 connectivity
±
Serial connectivity
We discuss each of these in this section.
The rear panel of the x450 showing the locations of cable connectors is
illustrated in Figure 3-4 on page 49. For more details about ports on the Remote
Supervisor Adapter, refer to 3.2.1, “Remote Supervisor Adapter connectivity” on
page 50.
