Some
server
models
support
up
to
three
25.4-mm
(1-inch)
slim-high,
3.5-inch

Ethernet
connection,
all
Ethernet
traffic
associated
with
the
primary
connection
is
automatically
switched
to
the
redundant
NIC.
If
the
applicable
device
drivers
are
installed,
this
switching
occurs
without
data
loss
and
without
user
intervention.
v
