  • PCIe 2.0 x8 bus fits x8 or x16 slots and includes both full-height and low-profile brackets
  • SR-IOV and VMDq plus full TCP/UDP/iSCSI/FCoE offload cut CPU load in virtualized storage clusters
  • Open SFP+ cages accept optional LR modules or DAC cables for flexible cabling choices
  • Passive heatsink enables 24/7 operation across Windows Server Linux and VMware ESXi environments

Plug-and-play 10G fiber kit

The SMUGDESK X520-SR2 is a PCIe 2.0 x8 network card built around the Intel 82599 controller with two SFP+ ports. Two 10G multi-mode SR transceivers are pre-installed for immediate LC fiber connectivity. It targets administrators who need a complete short-range 10GbE link without sourcing modules separately.

Fits standard and 2U rack servers

A full-height bracket and a low-profile bracket are included so the card works in regular chassis or slim 2U rack enclosures. The PCIe 2.0 x8 interface is backward compatible with x8 and x16 motherboard slots. A passive heatsink enables continuous 24/7 operation in dense server environments.

Pre-installed SR modules and open SFP+ slots

The bundled SR optics support OM3 multi-mode fiber runs up to 300 metres for rack-to-rack links. Open SFP+ cages accept optional LR single-mode modules or DAC cables for different cabling needs. Hardware offload for TCP, UDP, iSCSI, FCoE, SR-IOV, VMDq, LACP and 9000MTU jumbo frames reduces host CPU load in storage and virtualization clusters.
