FAQ
What type of servers is this network card compatible with?
This Axiom 788995-B21-AX network interface card is specifically designed for HP server environments. It features a standard PCIe form factor and has been engineered for compatibility with HP server hardware, making it suitable for expanding networking capabilities in existing HP server infrastructure without requiring platform changes or special adapters.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this network card?
This dual-port network card supports data transfer rates up to 10 gigabits per second (10 Gbps) using 10GBase-X technology. When combined with the PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface, it can achieve throughput of approximately 8000 MB/s between the network card and server motherboard, providing sufficient bandwidth for demanding server applications and data-intensive workloads.
What type of network cables does this card support?
This network card supports optical fiber connections through its SFP+ ports. Optical fiber cables allow for longer distance connections between network components while maintaining signal integrity, making this card suitable for connecting servers across data center racks or between separate server rooms where traditional copper cable limitations would otherwise apply.
How many network ports does this card provide?
This network interface card features two independent SFP+ ports, providing dual-port connectivity. This configuration offers flexibility for network design, allowing for redundancy options, load balancing between connections, or separate network segmentation. The dual ports enable more complex network topologies than single-port alternatives.
What PCIe interface does this network card use?
This card utilizes a PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface, which provides sufficient bandwidth to support the full 10 Gbps capability of both network ports simultaneously. The x8 lane configuration ensures that the network card does not become a bottleneck in data transfer between the server motherboard and network infrastructure.
