Network Interface Cards
Posted on 2013-01-07
Hi,
I would like to install 16 to 20x network interface cards on a server. Physically the hardware has enough slots to support 5x Quad NICs. Do you guys know of any limitation with Server 2008 r2 or Server 2012 with the amount of NIC that can be installed?
Thanks
