SMUGDESK Dual 10G SFP+ PCIe 2.0 x8 NIC Intel 82599ES H3C 0231A6CD

SKU CH-NE0B-XYRXD

Dual-port 10G SFP+ PCIe 2.0 x8 adapter with Intel 82599ES controller replaces H3C 0231A6CD card for R4900 and R6900 G2/G3 servers

  • Dual 10G SFP+ ports deliver high-throughput connectivity for storage and virtualization
  • Intel 82599ES controller offloads TCP processing to reduce CPU load during heavy I/O
  • LACP link aggregation combines both ports for increased bandwidth and redundancy
  • 9000 MTU jumbo frames enable larger payloads to cut protocol overhead
  • PCIe 2.0 x8 interface fits H3C R4900 and R6900 G2/G3 rack servers with included brackets

Direct H3C Server Replacement

The SMUGDESK dual-port 10G SFP+ card uses the Intel 82599ES controller to serve as a drop-in substitute for the H3C UN-CNA-10GE-2P-560F-B2 adapter. It connects through a PCIe 2.0 x8 slot and is validated for H3C R4900 and R6900 G2 and G3 rack servers. Full-height and low-profile brackets are supplied for flexible rack installation.

Storage and Virtualization Teams

IT groups that need hardware TCP offload, LACP link aggregation and 9000 MTU jumbo frames for NAS or soft-router deployments will benefit from the reduced CPU overhead. The adapter also supports VLAN tagging, Wake-on-LAN and PXE boot across Windows, Linux and VMware environments. Buyers who require more than two 10G ports or a newer PCIe generation should evaluate other options.

Dual Brackets Enable Dense Racks

Both full-height and low-profile brackets are included in the package, allowing the same card to fit standard and space-constrained server chassis without extra procurement. This flexibility simplifies spares management across mixed H3C R4900 and R6900 generations. No additional software licences or transceivers are bundled with the card.

Questions about this item

Does the SMUGDESK Dual 10G SFP+ PCIe 2.0 x8 NIC require a free PCIe 2.0 x8 slot on my motherboard?

Yes, the card uses a PCIe 2.0 x8 interface and needs an available x8 or wider slot to operate at full 10 Gbps bandwidth.

Will this card work in an older H3C R4900 or R6900 G2 server alongside existing 1 GbE adapters?

It is compatible with H3C R4900, R6900 G2 and G3 rack servers and can coexist with other network adapters in the same chassis.

How can I verify the Intel 82599ES controller is negotiating 10 Gbps links on both SFP+ ports after installation?

Check the adapter status in your OS network settings or switch port LEDs; both ports should show a 10 Gbps link speed when active transceivers and cables are fitted.
