Key Product Advantages
The Axiom 90Y9352-AX delivers concentrated network connectivity in a single expansion slot, reducing the need for multiple network cards and conserving valuable server expansion resources. This consolidation approach simplifies server configuration while maintaining full Gigabit performance across all four ports.
High-Density Connectivity
Four independent Gigabit Ethernet ports provide substantial network bandwidth for virtualization environments, converged infrastructure, and multi-service server deployments.
- Supports network segmentation
- Enables load balancing configurations
- Facilitates failover redundancy
Enterprise Reliability
Designed for continuous operation in server environments with robust construction and comprehensive warranty coverage for peace of mind in production deployments.
- 3-year limited warranty
- Server-optimized components
- Stable thermal design
Deployment / Use Cases
This quad-port network adapter excels in server environments requiring multiple network connections for virtualization, network segmentation, or dedicated service interfaces. The four independent ports allow administrators to assign specific network functions to dedicated interfaces, improving network management and performance isolation.
Ideal deployment scenarios include virtualization hosts needing separate networks for management, storage, and virtual machine traffic; web servers requiring dedicated interfaces for different services or load balancing; and database servers benefiting from segregated network paths for replication, backup, and client connections.
Virtualization Hosts
Provide dedicated network interfaces for hypervisor management, virtual machine traffic, storage networking, and backup operations within virtualized server environments.
Multi-Service Servers
Support servers running multiple network services by allocating specific ports to different applications, improving network performance and simplifying troubleshooting.
Physical Profile
The compact plug-in card measures 5.91 inches in height, 0.55 inches in width, and 2.20 inches in depth (150 x 14 x 56 mm), with a weight of approximately 3.84 ounces (108.86 grams). This slim profile allows installation in standard server expansion slots without interfering with adjacent components or airflow patterns.
The low-profile design and lightweight construction minimize mechanical stress on the PCIe slot while maintaining proper cooling characteristics for sustained operation in server environments. The card's dimensions are optimized for compatibility with IBM server chassis and similar enterprise server platforms.

FAQ
What type of server is this network adapter designed for?
The Axiom 90Y9352-AX is specifically designed for IBM server platforms. It's optimized for compatibility with IBM server chassis and expansion slot configurations, making it an ideal choice for expanding network connectivity in IBM server environments where additional Ethernet ports are needed for virtualization, network segmentation, or dedicated service interfaces.
How many network ports does this adapter provide?
This adapter provides four independent Gigabit Ethernet ports. All four ports are RJ-45 connectors that support 10/100/1000Base-T network technology, allowing simultaneous connections to multiple network segments or devices. The quad-port design consolidates network connectivity into a single expansion slot, reducing the need for multiple network cards in server deployments.
What is the maximum data transfer rate per port?
Each port supports data transfer rates up to 1000Mbps (1 Gigabit per second) when connected to compatible network equipment. The adapter uses 10/100/1000Base-T technology that automatically negotiates the optimal speed with connected devices, supporting 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps operation depending on network infrastructure capabilities.
What type of PCIe interface does this card require?
This network adapter requires a PCI Express 2.1 x4 slot for installation. The PCIe 2.1 x4 interface provides sufficient bandwidth to support simultaneous Gigabit operation across all four ports without bottlenecking. The card is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 slots but requires a physical x4 or larger slot for proper installation and full performance.
What type of network cables does this adapter support?
The adapter supports standard twisted pair Ethernet cables (Category 5e, 6, or higher) with RJ-45 connectors. It's designed for use with cost-efficient copper cabling infrastructure and supports transmission distances up to 100 meters per the 1000Base-T specification. The auto-MDI/MDIX capability allows use of either straight-through or crossover cables without manual configuration.
What warranty coverage does this product include?
The Axiom 90Y9352-AX includes a 3-year limited warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty provides assurance for enterprise deployments where network adapter reliability is critical for server operations. The warranty terms are designed to support the product's use in server environments requiring continuous availability and performance.
