FAQ
What type of network cabling does this NIC card support?
The Axiom 4XC0G88855-AX NIC card supports standard twisted-pair copper cabling using 10GBase-T technology. It is compatible with Category 6a or better Ethernet cables and can achieve the full 10 Gbps data transfer rate at distances up to 100 meters. This allows you to utilize existing copper infrastructure without requiring fiber optic cabling for most server room deployments.
What server models is this network card compatible with?
This NIC card is designed specifically for Lenovo server systems. While the product documentation specifies server support generally, the card's standard PCIe 3.0 x4 interface and included mounting brackets make it compatible with most Lenovo servers that have available PCI Express expansion slots. The full-height and half-height brackets accommodate different chassis configurations commonly found in Lenovo server product lines.
Does this card support low-profile server installations?
Yes, the Axiom 4XC0G88855-AX includes both full-height and half-height mounting brackets in the package. The half-height bracket allows installation in low-profile or compact server chassis that require shorter expansion cards. The card's physical dimensions of 6.57 inches in height with the half-height bracket make it suitable for various server form factors beyond standard rack-mounted configurations.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this Ethernet card?
This network interface card delivers 10 gigabits per second (10 Gbps) data transfer rates using 10GBase-T technology over copper twisted-pair cabling. The PCI Express 3.0 x4 host interface provides sufficient bandwidth to support this maximum throughput without bottlenecking, making it suitable for high-demand server applications that require rapid network data movement.
What warranty coverage does this product include?
The Axiom 4XC0G88855-AX NIC card comes with a 3-year limited warranty. This warranty period provides coverage for manufacturing defects and ensures reliable operation in server environments. The 3-year term offers substantial protection for this network component, which is designed for continuous operation in enterprise server deployments.
Can this card be used in non-Lenovo server systems?
While specifically designed and tested for Lenovo server compatibility, the card uses standard PCI Express 3.0 x4 interface technology that is compatible with most server motherboards. However, for optimal performance and reliability, it is recommended for use in Lenovo server environments as indicated in the product specifications. The included mounting brackets support various chassis types, but driver compatibility should be verified for non-Lenovo systems.
