Can you connect server to Procurve 2900 CX4 10GBps connection?

Hi!
I have customer who needs attach single server to 10GBps iSCSI SAN (Lefthand). Procurve 2900 has 2 CX4 and 2 X2 10GBps ports (so actually you can have 4 CX4's). Documentation states that they are used for uplinks. Can they be used for attaching server with Intel CX4 NICs?

Yes, those ports (a1-a4) can be configured just as the ports on the front of the switch can, and can be used with a server if you want.
