FAQ
What type of fiber connections does this network card support?
This AddOn network card supports optical fiber connections through its dual SFP+ ports. It is compatible with both multi-mode and single-mode fiber types, providing flexibility for different distance requirements and existing fiber infrastructure. The SFP+ ports accept industry-standard optical transceivers, allowing you to choose the appropriate modules for your specific fiber cable types and distance needs.
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this 10Gb network card?
This network card delivers a maximum data transfer rate of 10 gigabits per second (10 Gbps) per port through its 10GBase-X network technology. The PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface provides a total bandwidth of 8000 MB/s, ensuring that both ports can operate at full speed simultaneously without bottlenecking. This performance level is suitable for demanding server applications requiring high-throughput network connectivity.
Does this network card include mounting brackets for different server sizes?
Yes, the package includes both half-height and full-height mounting brackets. The half-height bracket accommodates compact server form factors such as 1U rack servers, while the full-height bracket is designed for standard server chassis and tower servers. This dual-bracket approach ensures compatibility with a wide range of server configurations without requiring additional hardware purchases.
What is PXE boot and how does it work with this network card?
PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) boot allows a server to boot from the network rather than from local storage. This network card includes PXE boot capability, enabling IT administrators to deploy operating systems, run diagnostic tools, or perform system recovery over the network. This feature is particularly valuable for large-scale server deployments, diskless computing environments, and remote management scenarios where physical media access is impractical.
