The controllers in your storage array might have different types of baseboard host ports and different types of HIC ports. The table shows which host ports can be changed with a feature pack.
| If you have... | You can change... | |
|---|---|---|
| These baseboard host ports... | And these HIC ports... | |
| Two SFP+ (optical) ports | None | Only the baseboard host ports |
| Two or four SAS ports | Only the baseboard host ports | |
| Two RJ-45 (base-T) ports | Only the baseboard host ports | |
| Four 32Gb FC ports | Only the baseboard host ports | |
| Four 10Gb or 25Gb iSCSI ports | Only the baseboard host ports | |
| Four 10Gb iSCSI or 16Gb FC ports | All of the ports (DE4000 only) | |
| Two 100Gb NVMe-RoCE ports | Baseboard ports are disabled (DE6000 only). Note: Baseboard
