Difference between Mezzanine Card and IO card on SC 5020
Can anyone tell me what difference between Mezzanine Card and IO card on SC 5020?
Mezzanine Card seem to only use for iSCSI purpose, but I saw the documents show that the IO port also provide iSCSI protocol.

Hello alvin.shih,
You want to use your I/O slot first on your SCv5020. If you need additional iSCSI ports, you can use a mezzanine card to connect to iSCSI hosts. The iSCSI ports on the mezzanine card connect to the iSCSI host servers through the Ethernet switches in the SAN. The mezzanine card is only used when the HBA card slot in the storage controller is already populated with an HBA.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
