Lenovo 7ZT7A00534 ThinkSystem I350-T2 Gigabit Ethernet Card server accessory

Dual-Port Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

The Lenovo 7ZT7A00534 ThinkSystem I350-T2 is a PCI Express 2.0 x4 network adapter that provides two RJ-45 ports for twisted-pair cabling. It targets administrators who need to add reliable 10/100/1000Base-T connectivity to compatible ThinkSystem servers such as the SR530, SR550, SR570, SR590, SR630 or ST550. The low-profile bracket fits standard server chassis without modification.

Intel I350 Virtualization Features

The Intel I350 controller brings SR-IOV and VMDq support to the adapter, allowing virtual machines to share the physical ports with near-native throughput and reduced CPU overhead. Driver stacks are mature across major hypervisors and operating systems, simplifying deployment in virtualised environments. Power-saving states help lower the thermal load inside dense racks.

Two Copper Ports for Standard LAN

Each port handles 10, 100 or 1000 Mb/s links over Cat 5e or better cable, giving enough bandwidth for typical management, storage replication or application traffic. The dual-port design supports link aggregation or failover without consuming an extra slot. Servers that require fibre uplinks, 10 Gb/s speeds or more than two copper connections will need a different adapter.
