Hardware and firmware requirements 6
Server blades and mezzanine cards that do not meet the required firmware versions will not properly
accept Virtual Connect-assigned parameters (MACs, WWNs, etc.) and will maintain factory defaults.
However, these server blades will have the Ethernet network and Fibre Channel fabric connectivity
specified in their Virtual Connect server profiles. This connectivity enables the use of network-based
firmware update tools to update server blade and mezzanine firmware.
