Lenovo 7ZT7A00546 network card Internal Fiber 10000 Mbit/s

The Lenovo 7ZT7A00546 is an internal fiber network card designed for server and workstation use, providing up to 10 000 Mbit/s data transfer over SFP+ fiber or direct-attach copper when used with compatible Lenovo ThinkSystem platforms. The card uses a PCI Express host interface and implements standard Ethernet features to integrate with the Intel X722-based LOM architecture found on select ThinkSystem systems.

Advantages

The card delivers high-speed 10 GbE connectivity with support for IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, IEEE 802.1p priority, IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation and IEEE 802.3x flow control, enabling reliable and manageable network performance. Its internal form factor and integration with Lenovo ThinkSystem LOM configurations simplify installation in supported servers. The metallic green finish provides a durable, identifiable component color for system builds.

Suitable for

• High-throughput server networking and virtualization hosts
• Storage and backup networks requiring 10 GbE links
• Aggregated link setups using IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation
• Environments needing VLANs and priority traffic handling (IEEE 802.1Q/802.1p)
