PX8-10G-4T-710 is a PCIe x8 10Gbps Quad Port Ethernet Copper Network Card based on Intel XL710 chipset. It is compatible with x16 lanes. The sever adapter is compatible with the existing network infrastructure and it will conveniently migrate the existing 100Mb/s and 1GbE networks to 10GbE. It can also link auto-negotiation among the rate of 100Mbps, 1GbE and 10GbE, which meets the most customers’ demanding of smooth transition and ease of migration to 10GbE. The performance is optimized so that system I/O is not the bottleneck in high-performance networking applications. In addition to managing MAC and PHY Ethernet layer functions, the controller manages PCI Express packet traffic across its transaction, link, and physical/logical layers. Using hardware acceleration, the controller offloads tasks from the host, such as TCP/UDP/IP checksum calculations and TCP segmentation.

The server adapter has four ports, of each can fully work independently, supporting four different practical application networks while working and decrease the number of slots on the equipment. The adapter has good compatibility. The four ports of the adapter can be grouped together through their own ports or other Ethernet adaper ports. It can provide multiple fuctions like widening access bandwidth and bandwidth access redundancy to achieve a non-stop access to the network.

The network card uses a simple, universal 10GbE access interface that can be set at any place of a data center conveniently. PX8-10G-4T-710 support the data transmission distance of 100 metres and plunk for Network structures such as Top of Rack(ToR), Middle of Row(MoR),End of Row(EoR) and etc..Intel Ethernet 700 series network adapter help the server to provide wide interoperability, optimized key performances and flexible IT network solutions among telecommunications, cloud computing and enterprises.
