BladeCenter administrators adding copper links

Questions about this item
Will the CIOv card slot on my BladeCenter accept this 44W4487 expansion card without an adapter?
The card is built to the CIOv form factor and plugs directly into a compatible BladeCenter CIOv slot; no adapter is required.
What thermal limit will throttle the card first when it runs at full 1 Gb line rate inside a BladeCenter chassis?
The chassis fan airflow and the slot power budget set the thermal ceiling; sustained full-rate traffic will hit the slot power limit before the card itself overheats.
