ok so I built an vmware server right now I'm using three gigabit RJ45, one that was built in and I placed a 2 port nic into the SLOT4 PCIE_G2_X1 PCIe x1 half length, however I'm having trouble finding a gigabit NIC single port or dual that will work in the other slots. Below is the information that I pulled from the board. I tried searching on newegg but all I found was the x1 half length connector. Any ideas?
SLOT1 PCIE_G2_X8 PCIe x8 half length
SLOT2 PCIE_G2_X8 PCIe x8 full length
SLOT3 PCIE_G2_X4 PCIe x4 half length
I think this is what you are looking for:-
1. Connect esxi host with vsphere client
2. then go to configuration tab
3. From Hardware select NETWORK ADAPTERS. Here you will list of your adapters
I need help finding hardware to put into the server.
Try the x1 card in a x4 or x8 slot and if it works fine then you can get another. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express
