Required Network Interface Card Installation

Depending on your order, your server might contain factory-installed network interface cards. If these cards were not factory-installed, you must install your own cards so that the server can access the network. Each PDomain must contain at least one network interface card and this card, must be cabled to your network. See Network Interface Card Cables and Network Addresses for more information.

Follow these guidelines when installing the primary network interface card for each server PDomain.
