Dual-port Gigabit NIC for servers

This PCI Express x4 card adds two RJ-45 ports running at 10/100/1000Base-T to a PC or server. It targets administrators who need a second physical network path for redundancy or traffic separation. Driver support spans Windows 32-64 bit, Linux 32-64 bit, VMware, MS-DOS and Oracle Solaris. Wake-on-LAN allows remote power management across the LAN.

Plug-in card with x4 lane and LEDs

The plug-in form factor occupies a single PCI Express x4 slot and presents two twisted-pair connectors on the bracket. Link and Activity LEDs give immediate visual confirmation of each port state. On-chip temperature monitoring and PM Offload reduce host CPU load during sustained transfers. Checksum offload for TCP, IP and UDP further lightens processing overhead.

Replaces single-port onboard NICs

Upgrading from a single integrated port adds a second independent Gigabit link for iSCSI storage, VM migration or link aggregation. The jump is worth it when a server needs simultaneous storage and client traffic on separate wires. Buyers who need fibre uplinks or 10 Gigabit speeds will require a different adapter class.

Questions about this item

What practical speed limit does the PCI Express x4 interface impose on this dual-port 10/100/1000Base-T card?

The PCI Express x4 host interface provides enough bandwidth for both RJ-45 ports to run at their full 1000 Mbps rate simultaneously without bottleneck.

What slot type and physical space does this plug-in card require inside the PC?

It needs a standard PCI Express x4 (or larger) slot and fits a low-profile bracket; the card itself is a single-slot plug-in form factor.

How is the card installed, and which driver step is most often missed?

Power off the PC, insert the card firmly into the PCI Express slot, secure the bracket screw, then install the correct 32-bit or 64-bit driver for Windows, Linux, VMware, MS-DOS or Oracle Solaris — skipping the OS-specific driver is the common mistake.
