NIC Hardware Key
iSCSI and other future functionalities for the system’s embedded NICs are enabled by installing an optional NIC hardware key in the ISCSI_KEY socket on the system board.
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team.
