Seems that there is the possibility for two PCI-Slots in that case. So
you're able to use dual- or even quad-port ethernet cards with it.
Besides that, I can't recommend a HA design with two machines in the
same case. In case of a failure, you want to change hardware without
shutting down both firewalls, don't you? Go out and buy two separate
machines and you're well prepared.
