IBM 44W4487 1Gb Ethernet Card

The IBM 44W4487 is a 1Gb Ethernet expansion card designed for the CIOv slot in a BladeCenter chassis. It provides a single copper network connection for blade servers. Part number 44W4487 identifies the module.

BladeCenter administrators adding copper links

This card suits administrators who need to add a 1Gb copper port to a compatible blade. Buyers who require multiple ports, higher speeds or fibre interfaces must select a different I/O module because this card supplies only a single copper link. Systems without a CIOv slot cannot use this card.

Questions about this item

Will the CIOv card slot on my BladeCenter accept this 44W4487 expansion card without an adapter?

The card is built to the CIOv form factor and plugs directly into a compatible BladeCenter CIOv slot; no adapter is required.

What thermal limit will throttle the card first when it runs at full 1 Gb line rate inside a BladeCenter chassis?

The chassis fan airflow and the slot power budget set the thermal ceiling; sustained full-rate traffic will hit the slot power limit before the card itself overheats.
