Description
More Specification of 10 Gigabit Adapter
The E10G42AFDA is an Intel PCI Express 2.0 X8 10 Gbps 10 Gigabit AT2 Dual Port Server Adapter. It is a network card designed for use in servers. It connects to the motherboard via a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot, which provides a fast data transfer rate of 10 Gbps. The card features two 10 Gigabit AT2 ports, allowing for dual-port connections, providing redundancy and increased network throughput. It also supports advanced features such as Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) and Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) which can improve performance in virtualized environments.
Reliability
The “Reliability” feature of the E10G42AFDA Intel PCI Express 2.0 X8 10GBPS 10Gigabit AT2 Dual Port Server Adapter refers to its ability to provide a stable and dependable network connection for servers. This feature can help to ensure that the server remains connected to the network even in the event of an interruption or failure.
One way that the adapter provides reliability is through its use of high-quality components, such as advanced thermal design, that can help to improve the stability of the adapter and reduce the likelihood of failures.
Another example is that it can support advanced features such as TCP/IP and UDP checksum offload, Large Send Offload (LSO) and Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) which can improve network performance and reduce the chances of data corruption.
Additionally, the adapter can support the latest version of the PCI Express interface, PCI Express 2.0, which provides faster data transfer rates and improved performance compared to previous versions of the interface.
Benefits and Features
The E10G42AFDA Intel PCI Express 2.0 X8 10GBPS 10Gigabit AT2 Dual Port Server Adapter is a network card that provides high-speed connectivity for servers. Some of the benefits and features of this adapter include:
- 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity: This adapter provides 10Gbps network speeds, which is 10 times faster than standard Gigabit Ethernet and enables faster data transfer for large files and high-bandwidth applications.
- Dual-port design: This adapter has two ports, which allows for redundancy and increased network bandwidth.
- PCI Express 2.0 interface: This adapter uses the PCI Express 2.0 interface, which is a high-speed interface that provides more bandwidth than PCI Express 1.x. This allows the adapter to take full advantage of its 10Gbps speeds.
- Advanced Technologies: This adapter also support advanced features such as Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (I/OAT) and Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT) for Connectivity (VT-c), which can help to improve network performance and virtualization capabilities.
- Improved Server Performance: The adapter can help to improve server performance by offloading I/O tasks from the server CPU, which can help to reduce CPU utilization and improve overall system performance.
