Interface Card Fujitsu PY-LA284 PCIe RJ-45 Full-height Low-profile

The Fujitsu PY-LA284 PCIe RJ-45 Full-height Low-profile interface card is an internal network adapter designed for server environments. It provides a PCIe host interface and an RJ-45 network port, and its bracket options support both full-height and low-profile chassis. The card is intended to improve wired Ethernet connectivity for servers that require a compact, replaceable network interface with standardized physical connections.

Advantages

This interface card offers a PCIe connection for direct integration with server motherboards, ensuring low-latency communication between the system and network. The RJ-45 output supports standard Ethernet cabling, simplifying deployment in existing wired infrastructures. The dual bracket form factor allows installation in a wide range of server chassis without additional modifications, and the card’s internal design minimizes external cabling complexity.

Suitable for

• Rack and tower servers requiring an additional Ethernet network port
• Data centre and enterprise environments that use wired RJ-45 connectivity
• System upgrades where a low-profile or full-height bracket is needed
• Servers that rely on PCIe expansion for network interfaces

Key specifications

• Host interface: PCIe (PCI Express)
• Network interface: RJ-45 Ethernet port
• Form factors supported: full-height and low-profile brackets
• Installation type: internal, PCIe expansion slot

How to use

Power down the server and unplug it from the mains before installation. Remove the appropriate chassis bracket and insert the card into an available PCIe expansion slot on the motherboard, securing it with the bracket screw. Attach the external Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port and route the cable according to the server room layout. After reassembling the chassis and restoring power, configure the server operating system or network firmware to recognize and enable the new network interface, installing drivers if required.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cables of appropriate category for your network speed, ensure the card is seated firmly in the PCIe slot, and install manufacturer-recommended drivers. Choose the bracket that matches your chassis to avoid mechanical stress. In environments with high network loads, monitor interface statistics and thermal conditions to ensure consistent performance.
