Are the hot-swap network cards a Dell thing?
Where do you see hot swap network cards? It's just SFP/SFP+ Nics. Pretty standard. Dell doesn't make them buy you can have them in the server with custom orders.
Ah, looked to me like the cards themselves (not the SFP/SFP+) could be removed without a screwdriver.

They are PCIE Cards. They aren't hotswappable, even if tooless.

You can get hot swap PCIe. PCI was always hot swap, too. Not common, but some servers have it. I've had servers for my home lab with it before.

Now that I took a sec to zoom in on the picture I see that. Here I was looking forward to even easier to service servers, my dreams have been shattered!

Can't wait to get this added to the cluster!

Not on Dells though. Unless you count pice based storage.
