The Dell 3N9XX+AA is a pass-through mezzanine network adapter specifically designed for use with Dell PowerEdge M520 blade servers within the PowerEdge VRTX shared infrastructure chassis. This adapter provides a direct PCIe pass-through connection from the blade server to the external I/O module of the chassis, enabling seamless integration with external switching environments without any internal switching or logic processing.
Designed for environments where network traffic must be directed straight to physical switches, the 3N9XX adapter is ideal for low-latency, high-performance computing tasks and legacy networking compatibility.
