Warranty on Bulk NIC?

[Grinchy]

Hello,

I’m thinking of buying some Intel XXV710-DA NIC for my NAS System.

Seems there's a XXV710DA2BLK (Bulk) and a XXV710DA2 (Retail?) Version of the Card.

But I couldn’t find anything else than “Bulk” Versions of this NIC.

Does the Intel Lifetime Warranty count on NIC’s sold as Bulk? Or will I loose Lifetime Intel Warranty by buying the BLK Version?

thank you!
