Deployment / Use Cases
The Axiom 95Y3762-AX network adapter is optimized for IBM server installations requiring high-speed network connectivity. Its dual-port design makes it suitable for environments where network redundancy, link aggregation, or separate network segmentation is necessary.
This card excels in data center applications where servers need reliable 10 Gbps connections to storage arrays, virtualization hosts, or high-performance computing clusters. The optical fiber support enables deployment across physically separated server racks or between buildings while maintaining full bandwidth capabilities.
Server Network Expansion
Add 10 Gbps connectivity to IBM servers that require higher network throughput than onboard Ethernet ports can provide, enabling faster data transfers between servers and network-attached storage.
Data Center Infrastructure
Deploy in server clusters where multiple high-speed connections are needed for virtualization, database servers, or application hosting that demands consistent low-latency network performance.
Physical Profile
The adapter card features a standard plug-in card form factor measuring 6.50" in height, 0.51" in width, and 2.68" in depth (165 mm × 13 mm × 68 mm). With an approximate weight of 3.84 oz (108.86 g), this compact design fits seamlessly into IBM server chassis while maintaining proper airflow and thermal characteristics.
The low-profile dimensions ensure compatibility with various server configurations, and the lightweight construction minimizes stress on the PCIe slot during installation and operation.

FAQ
What type of servers is this network adapter compatible with?
This Axiom network adapter is specifically designed for IBM servers that have available PCI Express 2.0 x8 expansion slots. It's engineered to work seamlessly with IBM server architectures and is listed as supporting server devices in the specifications. The card's form factor and electrical characteristics match standard server expansion card requirements for reliable integration.
What media types does this adapter support for network connections?
The adapter supports optical fiber media through its SFP+ ports. This means you can use industry-standard SFP+ transceivers with fiber optic cables to establish network connections. Optical fiber provides advantages for longer distance runs and environments with electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for data center and enterprise deployments where copper Ethernet might face limitations.
What is the maximum data transfer rate per port?
Each SFP+ port on this adapter supports 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit per second) data transfer rates using 10GBase-X network technology. This provides 10 gigabits per second of bandwidth in each direction when operating in full-duplex mode. The dual-port configuration delivers aggregate bandwidth of 4000 MB/s, allowing simultaneous high-speed connections from a single expansion card.
What PCI Express interface does this card require?
This network adapter requires a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot for proper operation. The x8 interface provides sufficient bandwidth to handle traffic from both 10 Gbps ports simultaneously without creating a bottleneck. While it uses an x8 electrical interface, the card may physically fit in longer PCIe slots (like x16), but it requires the full x8 electrical connection to deliver its rated performance.
What are the physical dimensions of this network adapter?
The adapter measures 6.50 inches in height (165 mm), 0.51 inches in width (13 mm), and 2.68 inches in depth (68 mm). This compact plug-in card form factor is designed to fit standard server expansion slots while maintaining proper clearance for cooling and adjacent components. The card weighs approximately 3.84 ounces (108.86 grams), making it lightweight for easy installation.
What warranty coverage does this product include?
This Axiom network adapter 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 reflects the enterprise-grade construction and expected service life of the product when used in appropriate server applications with proper installation and operating conditions.
