Based on the new Intel I350AM2 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, the Intel Ethernet Dual Port Server Adapters for IBM System x are Intel's fourth generation of PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet (PCIe GbE) adapters. These adapters showcase the industry's first fully integrated, multi-port PCIe 2.1 GbE controllers, providing a smaller footprint and lower power dissipation. In addition, these adapters offer advanced features, including support for multi-core processors and server virtualization, as well as a scalable PCI Express 2.1 interface. Intel's first eco-friendly, halogen-free design combines low power use and low cost for one of the best price to performance ratios in a multi-port solution that is available today.
The adapters have the following features:
Two 10/100/1000 copper ports with RJ45 for Cat 5e/6 cabling Based on Intel I350-T2ASIC (dual-port MAC/PHY controller)
PCIe 2.1 x4 host interface
