Product Description
Dual-Port PCIe Ethernet Server AdapterThe Ethernet Card is a dual-port 10/100/1000 Mb/s x1 PCI Express (PCIe) Ethernet adapter that supports the IEEE 802.3 ab standard over Category 5 twisted-pair cable. The adapter card supports offload technologies including Large Send, TCP segmentation, and TCP/UDP/IP checksum, and receive-side scaling (RSS) that deliver optimal network throughput, lower host processor utilization and as a result improve system overall performance. The adapter card comes in small form factor that is suitable for both low-profile and standard chassis.
Compatible with OS below: PowerEdge R230, PowerEdge R330, PowerEdge R230XL, PowerEdge R7425, PowerEdge R740XD, PowerEdge R540, PowerEdge R730xd XL, PowerEdge R440, PowerEdge R320, PowerEdge R630, PowerEdge R630XL, PowerEdge C6320P, PowerEdge R7415, PowerEdge VRTX PowerEdge FC630, PowerEdge R6415, PowerEdge R730, PowerEdge R740, PowerEdge R730XL, PowerEdge R330XL, PowerEdge R640, PowerEdge FC430, PowerEdge FC640, PowerEdge R520
