Two-Port and Four-Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC
The Check Point IP690 security platform supports Check Point-approved, four-port and
two-port copper Gigabit Ethernet NICs installed on a PMC expansion slot. The IP690 can
accommodate up to four Gigabit Ethernet NICs.
When you purchase a copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC with your IP690, the NIC is installed before
the appliance is delivered to you. For information about how to add or replace a NIC, see
Chapter 4, “Installing and Replacing Network Interface Cards.”
