  • Four RJ-45 ports deliver 10/100/1000 Mbps connectivity
  • PCI Express 2.1 x4 interface provides high-throughput server networking
  • Includes both full-height and low-profile brackets for flexible installation
  • Intel controller ensures reliable wired Ethernet performance
  • Plug-in card form factor fits standard server expansion slots

Four-Port Gigabit Server Adapter

This Intel N232 network card delivers four RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports over a PCI Express 2.1 x4 interface. It ships with both full-height and low-profile brackets for flexible server or workstation installation. The plug-in card design targets IT administrators expanding wired connectivity in rack or tower systems.

Suits Multi-Port Copper Deployments

Administrators adding aggregated 1 Gbps links to a Dell or compatible server will find the quad-port layout convenient. It is not for environments that require fibre uplinks or port counts beyond four. Builds lacking a physical x4 electrical slot should consider alternative form factors.

PCI Express 2.1 x4 Interface

The card operates on a PCIe 2.1 x4 electrical connection, which determines slot compatibility and maximum throughput. Verify that the host system provides an available x4 slot before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will this card fit in a standard-height server chassis or do I need a low-profile bracket?

The adapter ships with both a full-height bracket and a low-profile bracket so you can choose the one that matches your chassis.

Can the N232 negotiate 10/100 Mbps links on older switches while still running at 1000 Mbps on newer ones?

Each of the four RJ-45 ports supports 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation, so mixed-speed environments work without configuration.

How can I verify all four ports are active after installing the card?

Check the link LEDs on each RJ-45 port; a solid or blinking light confirms the port has negotiated a 10/100/1000 Mbps connection.
