-All netboards (1GbE or 10GbE) have the same connector (as seen below) underneath and are all mountet on the three connectors on the backplane. Each netboard provides the compute network to the two baseboards that are plugged in right next to them. It is also possible to mix different netboards, as they are independent of each other.\\ +All netboards (1****GbE or 10****GbE) have the same connector (as seen below) underneath and are all mounted on the three connectors on the backplane.
