Network Card Intel I350T2V2 Internal Ethernet 1000 Mbit/s

The Intel I350T2V2 is an internal wired network card with a PCI Express host interface and Ethernet connectivity supporting up to 1000 Mbit/s. It implements technologies for low-latency data transfer and virtualization acceleration, and supports industry networking standards for reliable wired connections in servers, workstations and embedded systems.

Advantages

This network card supports iWARP/RDMA for low-latency fabric services using kernel bypass, direct data placement and transport acceleration. It is PCI-SIG SR-IOV capable and includes Flexible Port Partitioning and Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) to offload virtualization switching and provide fair bandwidth allocation across virtual functions. Intel® Ethernet Power Management reduces idle power and adapts capacity to demand to improve energy efficiency.

Suitable for

• Server and virtualization hosts requiring SR-IOV and VMDq
• Environments needing low-latency RDMA/iWARP data transfer
• Workstations and embedded systems that require a reliable 1 Gbps wired Ethernet connection
• Deployments where power efficiency and partitioned port resources are important

How to use

Install the Intel I350T2V2 into an available PCI Express slot on a compatible motherboard, secure the card and connect an Ethernet cable to the port. Install appropriate drivers from the Intel support site or the operating system vendor to enable features such as SR-IOV, VMDq and iWARP/RDMA. Configure virtualization and network settings in the host operating system or hypervisor to assign virtual functions and tune bandwidth allocation as needed.

Recommendations

For best performance in virtualized environments enable SR-IOV or Flexible Port Partitioning and configure VMDq to offload switching from the hypervisor. Use updated Intel drivers and firmware and configure power management according to workload to balance energy efficiency and performance.
