Dell VRTX Mezzanine Adapter for M520
This Dell VRTX PCIe pass-through mezzanine adapter installs in a PowerEdge M520 blade server to extend connectivity to the VRTX chassis fabric. It is intended for system integrators and IT teams building dense compute nodes inside a Dell VRTX platform.
Pass-through design limits onboard switching
The adapter provides a direct PCIe path without an embedded switch, so bandwidth and port count depend entirely on the chassis fabric modules installed. Buyers who need onboard Layer 2 or Layer 3 switching must select a different mezzanine card.
