IBM EN0T-IBM – PCIe2 4-Port (10Gb+1GbE) SR+RJ45 Adapter – LP

Detailed Description:

The IBM EN0T-IBM is a PCIe2 4-Port Adapter that combines 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) connectivity into a single low-profile (LP) card. This versatile adapter is designed to enhance network performance and flexibility in IBM servers, supporting both high-speed 10GbE for bandwidth-intensive applications and standard 1GbE for regular network traffic. The adapter features two SFP+ ports for 10GbE connectivity over short range fiber optics (SR) and two RJ45 ports for 1GbE connections, making it a comprehensive solution for varying network requirements. It is particularly beneficial for organizations undergoing digital transformation, as it supports the coexistence of legacy and modern network infrastructure, facilitating a smooth transition. The EN0T’s PCIe2 interface ensures compatibility with a broad range of IBM servers, providing a straightforward upgrade path for enhancing network capabilities without extensive modifications to existing systems. Its low-profile design allows for installation in servers with limited space, ensuring that even compact servers can benefit from improved network speeds and connectivity.
