NIC Hardware Key

iSCSI and other 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.

WARNING: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before you begin this procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the system.

NOTE: When future NIC functionality is supported, you must replace the original NIC hardware key (if installed) with a new hardware key.
